[[foldercontrol]]

The mighty crew led by Luffy's childhood hero Shanks. The father of the Straw Hat Pirates' sniper Usopp, Yasopp, is part of this crew. Other than that, very little is known about them, except they are a powerful crew that is to be respected. Shanks himself has his own [[Characters/OnePieceTheFourEmperors page]].

!Red Hair Pirates

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ben_Beckman_274.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/KazuyukiSogabe (JP, episode 4), Aruno Tahara (JP, episodes 151+), Sean Hennigan (EN, Funi), Rafael Pacheco (Latin American Spanish)

Shanks' second-in-command and the First Mate of the Red Hair Pirates. His fighting skills were displayed in the very first chapter of the story, wherein he defeats a gang of mountain bandits using only a cigarette and a rifle (used as a club). In his following appearance he looks older and has more scars, but he hasn't lost the edge.
-----
* AlliterativeName: '''B'''enn '''B'''eckman.
* BrainyBrunette: Beckman had black hair (it's now grey) and [[WordOfGod according to Oda,]] Beckman has the highest IQ of all the characters introduced in the East Blue saga.
* CoolOldGuy: He is the NumberTwo to an Emperor.
* GeniusBruiser: According to WordOfGod, he's the smartest guy in the East Blue Saga (smarter than [[ScienceHero Nami]] and [[TheChessmaster Kuro]]).

* TheLancer: The no-nonsense First Mate for his relaxed, fun-loving captain Shanks.
* NumberTwo: To his captain, Shanks.
* OneManArmy: In the very fist chapter, Beckman alone managed to annihilate the mountain bandits by using a ''cigarette'' and a rifle. No, he didn't shoot them, [[PistolWhipping he used said rifle as a club.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Beckman is much more reserved when compared to his outlandish crewmates.
* RedOniBlueOni: He's very calm and collected, where Shanks is more like Luffy most of the time.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lucky Roo]]
[[quoteright:249:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rucky_loo.png]]
One of the most prominent members of the Red Hair Pirates. An obese man who is always seen with a carefree grin and eating a piece of meat.
-----
* {{Acrofatic}}: The man is able to sneak on a mountain bandit seemingly unnoticed, suggesting that he has some sort of SuperSpeed.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He is a fat, jovial guy who's constantly smiling and eating. He's also the first person to score a kill in the entire series.
* BigEater: Always seen eating a piece of meat in all of his appearances.
* BigFun: Very fun-loving, with a rotund body to prove it.
* CombatPragmatist: When a bandit pulled a gun on Shanks, Lucky Roo shot the bandit in the head while he was distracted.
* EstablishingSeriesMoment: Sneaking on and killing a mountain bandit set the overall message that a pirate's life is a dangerous one.
* LightningBruiser: He is quite fast in spite of his bulk.
* PerpetualSmiler: Always seen smiling.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Lucky Roo is spelled as Roux in the Viz translations.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Yasopp]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yasopp.jpg]]

Usopp's father and another prominent member of the Red Hair Pirates, being a renowned marksman just like his son would be. He left behind his young son and wife to become a pirate and sail the seas, having been recruited by Shanks. Both of them supported his endeavors.
----
* DarkSkinnedBlond: He's pretty tan like Usopp used to be and he wears his hair in blond dreadlocks, though it's likely just dyed that way since he was depicted with black hair in a flashback to 20 years ago.
* DreadlockWarrior: Nowadays. In the past, his hair was curly and loose, not unlike his son's.
* HeroWorship: Is idolized by by his son for being a great pirate.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Yasopp claims he can shoot the whiskers off an ant. This was ''after'' he shot an apple sitting on a table in the distance. He's also the only man who beat Daddy "the Father" Masterson (anime-only) in a draw.
* LamarckWasRight: Has excellent sharpshooting skills. Naturally, his son inherited them.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Usopp became a pirate and unrivaled sharpshooter, just like his father.
* ParentalAbandonment: Yasopp does not sugarcoat the fact that he left his wife and son behind to be a pirate and considers himself a deadbeat parent despite Usopp idolizing him.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: A lot of Usopp's traits can be traced back to him. However, the famous GagNose came from his mother.
* TattooedCrook: Has his name tattooed on his upper right arm.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Other Red Hair Pirate Members]]
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Akagumo_2923.jpg]]

The crew of Shanks, and the first pirates to be seen in the series. Among their ranks are Benn Beckman, Lucky Roo, Usopp's father Yasopp and [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/one_piece/v58/c580/10.html several (as-yet-unidentified) elite members]] seen at Dawn Island and again at the finale of Marineford [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg as well as Rockstar]], a rookie who just recently joined. Their antics and talk of freedom on the seas are what inspired Luffy to be a pirate.
-----
* {{Animal Motif|s}}: The crew uses a red dragon as tattoos and the figurehead of their ship.
* BadassCape: They all seem to wear one.
* BadassCrew: The first seen.
* BadassNormal: While not out-right confirmed, it's hinted that the only power most of them rely on is their own strength and Haki to become renowned and we have seen no one use any Devil Fruit powers. [[FridgeBrilliance Shanks seem to have gotten this from his time under]] [[spoiler: the Roger Pirates.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Underestimating these guys because of their partying nature can be a huge mistake, as a bunch of no-account mountain bandits found out.
* BigDamnHeroes: Whenever they're not partying, it's this, apparently, having saved Luffy at childhood [[spoiler: and at Marineford, ending the war with ''their presence alone''.]]
* EliteMook: Rockstar the Rookie. A former solitary pirate with a bounty of 94 Million. And still considered a Rookie among the crew.
* HonorBeforeReason: Subverted. When Rockstar feels insulted by the Whitebeard Pirates, he's told by Shanks to ignore honor and come back alive instead.
* SmallNameBigEgo: When Rockstar arrives on Whitebeard ship as a messenger, he boasts about his days as a lone wolf. Marco quickly tells him that they never ever heard of him.
* TeamPet: The crew appears to have a pet monkey. It's unknown if it can fight, but it did seem pretty aggressive.

!Big Mom Pirates / Charlotte Family

[[folder: Overview of Big Mom Pirates [=/=] Charlotte Family]]
[[quoteright:317:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Big_Mom_Jolly_Roger_3691.jpg]]

A very powerful pirate crew serving the great Charlotte Linlin of the Four Emperors. So far, the named members include: Bobbin "The Disposer", Pekoms, Baron Tamago, "Crane Rider" Randolph, "Mad Moiselle" Amande, Diesel, "Gourmet Knight" Streusen, and three of her children who serve as executive officers of the crew, "Thousand Arms" Charlotte Cracker (10th son, Minister of Biscuit), Charlotte Smoothie (14th daughter, Minister of Juice), and Charlotte Katakuri (2nd son).

Also included are the many sons and daughters of Big Mom, several of whom are also directly part of the crew, and many of whom are at least affiliated with its operations. The ones revealed so far are Anana (one of the youngest daughters), Dolce, Dragee and Anglaise (some of the youngest sons), Perospero (1st son, Minister of Candy), Compote (1st daughter, Minister of Fruit), Daifuku (3rd son, Minister of Beans), Oven (4th son, Minister of Browned Foods), Opera (5th son, Minister of Cream), Counter (6th son), Cadenza (7th son), Cavarette (8th son), Gara (9th son), Brulee (8th daughter), Moscato (16th son, Minister of Gelato), Galette (18th daughter, Minister of Butter), Mont-d'Or "The Secretary" (19th son, Minister of Cheese), Chiffon (22nd daughter, married to Capone Bege), Praline (29th daughter, married to Aladdin of Sun Pirates), and Pudding (35th daughter and Sanji's future bride-to-be).

''The more prominent crew and family members also have their own pages below.''
-----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Praline wears an open, frilled, rose-themed jacket and nothing else underneath.
* ActOfTrueLove: Praline fully intends to follow her husband Aladdin of the Sun Pirates when he decides to break away from Big Mom's crew, despite knowing that no one survived doing that. [[spoiler:Eventually, she makes good on her intentions in Chapter 860 as she and the Sun Pirates are seen preparing to leave Totto Land, after tying Pekoms to a rock to prevent him from squealing to Big Mom.]]
* AffablyEvil: Perospero frequently indulges the children that live on Totto Land by letting them eat his candy, when he's not busy turning people into candy.
* AlmightyJanitor:
** Bobbin is said by the Vinsmokes to be a heavy hitter in the crew but his bounty is only 105,500,000 which is fairly low by new world standards especially for a servant of a Yonko. To put it in perspective, this is less than a third of the next lowest known bounty in the crew, Pekoms with 330,000,000.
** Streusen, the Head Chef for the wedding ceremony, turns out to be [[spoiler:the co-founder of the Big Mom Pirates, having met a six-year-old Charlotte Linlin, already a CreepyChild and [[TheCorrupter essentially the reason why she became such a monster]]]]. He himself doesn't seem to be a combatant, but as the man in charge of making sure Big Mom's gluttony is satiated (not to mention the "hunger rages"), it wouldn't be surprising if his seemingly lowly position turns out to be very influential within the crew.
* AndIMustScream: Mont-d'Or's power lets him trap people and animals within books, where they are unable to move or even age, but totally aware of their surroundings and situations.
* AnimeHair:
** Praline's hair is tied into a bun where most of it extend outwards horizontally like a hammerhead shark's.
** Oven, Big Mom's fourth son, has his hair and beard shaped like an anchor, as if he was born with an anchor for a head with a human face on it.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: The family is in possession of "Candy Jacket" bullets, which allow them to penetrate thick walls and armored soldiers, [[spoiler: including the [[SuperToughness modified skeletons]] of the Vinsmoke children, as Pudding demonstrated to Reiju.]]
* AristocratsAreEvil: As Big Mom is the queen of Totto Land and also one of the Four Emperors, most of her family are this. [[spoiler:Even Pudding.]] The exception seems to be [[spoiler:Praline and Chiffon.]]
* ArrangedMarriage: Most of Big Mom's children were set up to marry strong people so they can produce offspring that will strengthen both her crew and the family's influence. Like with Praline, with her husband Aladdin of the Sun Pirates. Also implied to happen with Chiffon and Bege, as part of the latter's alliance with Big Mom. [[spoiler:One of Big Mom's daughters, Lola, defied this by running away from home and finding love on her own terms (though she's yet to find someone who'll accept her proposals)]]. It's also subverted with Pudding and Sanji, who would've been in a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage if it weren't for Sanji's dream of finding the All Blue, his loyalties to the Straw Hat Pirates, and [[spoiler: [[UsedToBeASweetKid the no longer shy and innocent]] Pudding was only pretending to be a nice girl and plans on murdering him and rest of the Vinsmokes on their wedding day]].
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance:
** Mont-d'Or's outfit has a [[SkeletonMotif bone theme]] going on, and he is named after a type of cheese that's made of cow's milk and high in calcium. A fitting appearance for a Minister of Cheese.
** Moscato is the Minister of Gelato. As such, his outfit and appearance had an ice cream motif going on. Even his blue-pink hair resembles whipped gelato somewhat.
** Opera is the Minister of Whipped Cream. As such, his entire body is made of cream.
** Perospero serves as Candy Island's governor, the Minister of Candy. His powers and clothes are candy-themed, and he likes eating candy.
** Praline's bun, the pattern of her lower shark body, and her frilled clothes make her reminiscent of a noble Frenchwoman, considering exactly who she descends from...
** Compote is the Minister of Fruit who wears a very lavish hat that resembles a cup full of stacked fruits.
** Charlotte Dolce and his brother Dragée have very round bodies, and their favorite thing is balloons. Their favorite hobby is to float around using balloons.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Like the Sweet Commanders, Totto Land's Ministers are also similarly powerful in one way or another.
* BadassCape:
** Randolph wears a dark cape, and is a capable fighter.
** Big Mom's fourth son, Charlotte Oven, is a Minister and eater of the Heat Heat Fruit who wears a cape that darkens every time he uses his heat powers.
* BadassFamily: Invoked - Big Mom married 43 husbands, mothered 85 children, and [[ArrangedMarriage arranged them to marry strong people]] in order to strengthen her crew and their influence.
* BaldOfEvil: Charlotte Daifuku's head is completely shorn, and he's a loyal son and Minister to Big Mom.
* BalefulPolymorph: Perospero's power includes this. He can turn people into candy [[ImAHumanitarian and eat them]] if he wished to. He threatens Caesar Clown in addition to being eaten with this fate [[spoiler:if he doesn't produce the giantification formula for Big Mom in two weeks]].
* {{Balloonacy}}: Charlotte Dolce and his brother Dragée love balloons so much that they often use them to float in the air. Their sister Anana loves tormenting them by using knives to pop their balloons.
* BeingPersonalIsntProfessional: Seems to be a sentiment among the crews. Bege [[spoiler:shot Pekoms]] when the latter took his emotions into account when dealing with the mission to bring the Straw Hats to Big Mom, what with them helping his devastated homeland. This action disgusted Sanji, noting that he has no respect for a crew who would hurt one of their own. Tamago then countered using this trope, even saying that Capone did the right thing. However he would later state that if Pekoms was alive he'd beg Big Mom to take him back.
* BerserkButton: If you hurt one of their siblings, the Charlotte family will immediately try to make mince-meat out of you. Just ask Luffy.
* {{BFS}}: Bobbin carries a very massive sabre on his back that dwarfs him in size. Amande also carries a very long katana - in fact, it's one of the Meitou, the in-universe fabled strong swords.
* BigBrotherInstinct: [[spoiler:Aside from the abuse Big Mom gave her for looking like her runaway twin sister, Lola, Chiffon decided to help Bege off Big Mom during Sanji's wedding because she knew of Lola's naïveté concerning their mother, and that she wouldn't be safe as long as Big Mom lives.]]
* BigEater: Both Bobbin and Pekoms are implied to enjoy eating, while Perospero enjoys eating ''people'' (after turning them into candy first).
* TheBigGuy: Opera is the largest of Totto Land's Ministers, barring Cracker (when donning his Biscuit Soldier armor).
* BigScrewedUpFamily: What the Charlotte family actually is behind closed doors. While they act like charitable hosts and they do seem to care for each other, most of them are homicidally insane as their mother, Big Mom, no thanks to her [[AbusiveParents terrible parenting]], her willingness to [[OffingTheOffspring kill her own children]] [[spoiler:(like Charlotte Moscato)]], and ControlFreak tendencies. Those children working under her are fearful of receiving YouHaveFailedMe from her if they screw up, which resulted in some like Opera lying about Luffy and Nami's escape from captivity. Two of her daughters, Praline and Chiffon, are more loyal to their husbands than Big Mom [[spoiler:with Praline essentially jumping ship with her husband's crew despite knowing the severe consequences for doing so, and Chiffon supporting Bege's assassination plan because of all the abuse Big Mom heaped on her for being the identical twin sister of the runaway Lola, whom Big Mom despises with a passion, and because she wants Lola to be safe. And Pudding, who is supposedly one of Big Mom's favorites and supports her plans, UsedToBeASweetKid but became a sadistic and cunning psychopath because of both Big Mom and the other children ridiculing her ThirdEye, and is frustrated with her mother treating her like a convenient tool]].
* BilingualBonus: Some members of the Charlotte family are given names of food in different languages.
** "Anana" (alt. "ananas") means "pineapple" in many languages.
** Moscato's name comes from the Italian term for the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscat_(grape) muscat grapes]]. The island he [[spoiler:formerly]] governed, Gelato, is also an Italian term for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelato ice cream]].
** Mont-d'Or's name is a French term for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacherin a type of cheese that's made of cow's milk]].
** "Dolce" is the Italian word for "sweet".
* BladeOnAStick: Randolph uses a [[DoubleWeapon double-edged]] variety.
* BlobMonster: Opera's general appearance, and given he is the Minister of Whipped Cream, that is most likely the reason for it. It's revealed he ate a (presumably Logia-type) Devil Fruit that turned his body into cream, and can attack people with cream by adding "sweetness" to it, burning his foes upon contact.
* BrattyHalfPint:
** Anana, a young kid who enjoys tormenting her siblings to the point where one desires to kill her for being so rotten.
** There's also Anglaise, a boy who tries to act like a stereotypical [[GreaserDelinquents Greaser]].
* BystanderSyndrome: [[spoiler:Chiffon was constantly, horrifically abused by Big Mom whenever the two crossed paths, because she looked like her runaway twin sister, Lola. Chiffon's other siblings were implied to have known what was going on, but didn't step in once to help.]]
* CainAndAbel:
** Anana and her siblings don't seem to get along very well; her brothers Dolce and Dragée in particular hate her for constantly popping their balloons. One of her other siblings wished to kill her for being such a rotten kid.
** [[spoiler:Lola's siblings appear to subvert this when they see Luffy and Nami were carrying Lola's Vivre Card and immediately the worst happened, asking for her last words... but then a few of said siblings later reappear looking completely fine with Big Mom's plans to kill Lola for running away from an important political marriage in the past. Lola's brother Opera was going to torture Nami for his sister's current location [[BigDamnHeroes had Jimbe not walked in]]. However, Lola's twin sister Chiffon subverts this; aside from [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal being tired of Big Mom's abuse]], she joined her husband Bege in offing her mother with Lola's safety in mind.]]
* CharacterTics: Bobbin has a habit of bobbing his head sideways (hence his name) while talking.
* ChessMotifs: Two-fold; The army of {{Mooks}} employed by the crew are called the "Chess Barbarian Army", which are Homies dressed and armed like chess pieces, and then the main crew also have Chess ranks, with Tamago as a Knight, Bobbin as a Bishop, and Capone Bege as a Rook.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Praline is enraged at the thought of her husband Aladdin of the Sun Pirates leaving her alone when he decides to leave Big Mom's crew. Then she subverts it by declaring that she'll follow him over Big Mom any day.
* ColorMotif: Judging from the episodes featuring them, Big Mom and her crew seem to wear a ''lot'' of pink.
* CoolBigSis: Chiffon and her twin sister [[spoiler:Lola]] have this dynamic, with Chiffon ''technically'' being the older one. She delighted hearing of her sister's adventures from Nami, and the only one of her family who doesn't hate her for running away. [[spoiler:She even supported Bege's plan to assassinate Big Mom because [[BigBrotherInstinct she was planning to kill Lola]].]]
* CoolBike: In Chapter 848, little Charlotte Anglaise rides into Big Mom's library on a huge caterpillar with Harley-Davidson handlebars for antennae. Not only is it cool-looking, it's absolutely ''adorable''.
* CreepyChild: Anana enjoys mutilating her stuffed toys with knives, and when her family's head chef denied her the pleasure, she complained to Big Mom.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath:
** [[spoiler:Moscato shows fear in front of his gigantic {{Gonk}} of a mother (which his siblings warned him not to do) while trying to calm her down from her hunger-induced rampage, and gets ''his entire lifespan'' yanked out of him for his trouble. Ouch]].
** [[spoiler:King Baum in chapter 846 is killed by "Mad Moiselle" Amande when she uses her sword to saw through his body at an agonizingly slow pace. He begs her to kill him quickly, but Amande refuses just to savor his last moments of pain]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Chiffon has one. [[spoiler:She was horrifically abused by Big Mom [[MisplacedRetribution because she's the runaway Lola's identical twin]]. Because Lola ran away from an important ArrangedMarriage, Big Mom decided to vent her anger on Chiffon whenever they crossed paths. It got so bad that Chiffon [[YoureNotMyFather disowned her mother]] and felt no remorse when she decided to help Bege assassinate Big Mom.]]
* DelinquentHair:
** Charlotte Moscato's blue-pink hairstyle resembles a whipped pompadour, though he's actually not a delinquent by profession.
** Moscato's little brother Anglaise also sports a pompadour, and acts like a stereotypical [[GreaserDelinquents Greaser]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Totland's Ministers Opera, Mont-d'Or and Galette cared greatly for Moscato [[spoiler:and were greatly saddened and shaken when they witnessed Big Mom rip out their brother's soul. Chapter 845 has the three being part of the many participants in the manhunt for Luffy, the defeater of their brother and fellow Minister Cracker]].
** Subverted with Charlotte Anana's relationship with her siblings, who all hate her for being a sadistic and homicidal little terror. One of said siblings even expressed a desire to kill Anana for being "rotten to the core".
** [[spoiler:In chapter 846, when Big Mom's army discovers the Straw Hat Pirates had Lola's Vivre Card, they immediately worry that Lola had been killed and ask for her last words. Nami insists that nothing of the sort happened and Lola is the Straw Hats' ally. Then it's subverted when a few members of said army, who also happen to be a few of Lola's brothers and sisters, accept Big Mom's plan to assassinate her, with Opera preparing to torture Nami for information [[BigDamnHeroes had Jimbei not walked in]]]].
* EveryoneIsArmed: [[spoiler:It's shown during the wedding ceremony that most of the lesser crew are armed with the special revolver that Pudding mentions to have, even the priest.]]
* EvilGloating: Perospero holds off on killing [[spoiler: the Vinsmoke Family]] just so he can brag to [[spoiler: Judge]] about how he's got them dead-to-rights. Naturally, [[VillainBall he spends a little too much time on the gloating]] before Big Mom's scream, taking him and the other executors down, and the Straw Hats (who have protections) manage to save them.
* EvilLaugh: Perospero's SignatureLaugh, "Kukukuku", and Bobbin's "Boyoyon" (which also makes it an onomatopoeia for spring coils).
* EyeObscuringHat: "Mad Moiselle" Amande wears a hat that has an extremely wide brim and hides her face.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Anana is an adorable little kid who enjoys mutilating her stuffed toys with knives and sadistically tormenting her siblings. [[spoiler:Anana's older sister, Pudding, is actually as evil and psychotic as her mother ("Only my family knows the real me!"); she also has a third eye. However, unlike Anana, Pudding UsedToBeASweetKid before years of bullying and abuse caused her to snap completely.]]
* FamilyThemeNaming: Big Mom's children are named after specific types of food and drinks. [[spoiler:Lola, the runaway 23rd daughter who is mostly treated as the family outcast, averts this.]]
* FatBastard: Bobbin is a short, rotund-bodied, [[{{Gonk}} ugly-looking]] pirate working for Big Mom. Also burned down an entire country who didn't pay Big Mom in time, and had the gall to laugh about it.
* FirstNameBasis: The only member of Big Mom's crew who calls her by her real name of Charlotte Linlin is [[ChefOfIron Streusen]], likely since [[spoiler:he was her first crewmate and the one who inspired her to form the Big Mom Pirates in the first place]].
* ForcedSleep: Bobbin is able to make others sleep by ringing his head like a bell. Anyone that hears the sound is knocked out.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** The Charlotte family are all named after foods or things related to it [[spoiler:except for [[OddNameOut Lola]]. It's later revealed that Lola ran away from an important political ArrangedMarriage that will ally her family with the giants, ruining Big Mom's plans to become Pirate King. Almost all of her family members, save for her twin sister Chiffon, hate her as a result.]]
** When Moscato is on the face of Big Mom's hunger-induced rampage, his siblings tell him to not show fear; but he did, and he got life-stolen by Big Mom. [[spoiler:They were actually advising him to defend against her powers, as the fear of her is what makes her power effective; Jimbei not fearing her causes her powers to fail on him.]]
* FourIsDeath: [[spoiler:Moscato is the 16th son of the Charlotte Family. Four multiplied by four equals sixteen. He's one of the few people after the TimeSkip to die on-screen]].
* GagLips: Charlotte Chiffon has huge lips, [[spoiler:not unlike her sister Lola's]].
* GagNose: Mont-d'Or has a long nose that's not unlike Usopp's. His older brother Perospero, and sister Brulee, also have long noses.
* GenieInABottle: Charlotte Daifuku ate the Puff-Puff Fruit (Hoya Hoya no Mi) that turns him into a walking genie's lamp; he can summon a powerful, dark-skinned genie to fight for him by rubbing any part of his body.
* GeniusLoci: Totland has a ''lot'' of AnimateInanimateObject, so many that the land itself is alive. And if you are trespassing, know that they will watch your every move and make your life ''hell''. [[spoiler:This is thanks to Big Mom's Soul Soul powers, granting life to them]].
* GildedCage: Totto Land, or anyplace in Big Mom's territory counts as this for most of her children. They're all left wanting for nothing, with food and riches everywhere they go, but Big Mom is so tyrannical and controlling that most of her children gave up on defying her to pursue their own dreams [[spoiler:save for one of Big Mom's daughters, Lola, who successfully ran away with her mother's Vivre Card. For that, she was disowned, with plans to send assassins after her]].
* {{Gonk}}: Some of Big Mom's human pirate crew members as well as her children (especially the older ones) are ugly-looking. So far we've seen Bobbin, Chiffon and her sister Lola, Cracker (subverted in his case as his real appearance is not that bad-looking), Opera (who's a walking, talking, goopy mess of cream) and Brulee (whom Luffy even mistook for a tree branch when she stands on a tree). Pound, Chiffon and Lola's father, is also ugly-looking (though he's seen as an outsider to the family).
* GonkyFemme: Chiffon may look gonky but she's a feminine and mature woman who cares for her husband and child.
* GoodParents: Chiffon is a very loving mother to her infant son, Pez, and her husband, Capone Bege, helps raise him. A far cry from [[AbusiveParents Big Mom]].
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: "Mad Moiselle" Amande is an evil swordswoman working as a member of Big Mom's crew, and carries a cigarette in her mouth.
* GreaserDelinquents: Anglaise tries to be one of those but, due to being a young kid, comes off as a BrattyHalfPint.
* HalfHumanHybrid: A number of Big Mom's children are hybrids of some sort with other fantastic races in the verse, like Praline being a half mermaid and Smoothie being a half Longleg Tribe. It's part of Big Mom wanting diversity in her family.
* HappilyMarried: The two {{Arranged Marriage}}s we've seen so far (Chiffon and Capone Bege, Praline and Aladdin of the Sun Pirates) are quite happy. The latter even would happily choose to follow him over her mother any day.
* HairDecorations: Chiffon has a single, large bow in her hair. Her twin sister [[spoiler:Lola]] also had one when she was younger [[spoiler:before she ran away from home]].
* HellBentForLeather: Little Charlotte Anglaise wears a black leather jacket as part of his [[GreaserDelinquents Greaser]] get-up.
* HighCollarOfDoom:
** Opera wears a black cloak that has a high collar. While he isn't evil (as of yet), he's still a Minister and son of Big Mom who works for his mother.
** Perospero's coat has a high collar that's reminiscent of a candy wrapper. He's also a supporter of his mother Big Mom, and while his candy-themed power by itself isn't evil, his [[ImAHumanitarian use for it]] regarding people is.
* HornsOfVillainy: Galette wears a pair of small, black, spaded ones, though whether or not they're real is unclear.
* HumanMomNonhumanDad: Praline's mother is a huge, terrifying {{Gonk}} of a human. Meanwhile, her father seems to be a hammerhead shark Merman. This applies to a lot of Big Mom's children.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: [[spoiler:Chiffon and Lola are identical twin sisters who share the same {{Gonk}}y face. To tell them apart, Chiffon has GirlishPigtails and a hair bow, while Lola has braids (though she did have a bob cut and a bow like her sister before she ran away).]]
* ImAHumanitarian: Perospero's Devil Fruit power allows him to turn people into candy and eat them. He threatens Caesar Clown with this fate [[spoiler:if he doesn't produce the giantification formula for Big Mom in two weeks]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Most of Big Mom's older children, especially the older ones, though it's also averted with most of the younger children who are all decent and reasonable. It could also apply to most of her pirate crew as well -- Bobbin's seen laughing after ''burning down a country''.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Perospero taunting a crying man with his imminent death at the hands of Big Mom's crew would normally qualify as a KickTheDog moment if said man wasn't [[spoiler:[[AbusiveParents Vinsmoke Judge]]]]
* KidsAreCruel: Anana enjoys popping the balloons of her brothers Dolce and Dragée, earning their hatred. Her other siblings don't seem to like her either, with one expressing a wish to kill her.
* KillerRabbit: Quite literally in his case; Randolph is a sentient rabbit who won't hesitate to kill groups of people if it'll fulfill a mission.
* KingMook: The boss of the Seducing Woods is a really big tree, King Baum.
* LeanAndMean: Perospero, a skinny, tall guy who can turn people into candy and eat them.
* LetsMeetTheMeat: The {{Animate Inanimate Object}}s in Totland include foods. It can be quite jarring to see your dinner asking you what would you prefer, expressing discomfort when eaten but ultimately satisfied that they taste good.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Some of Big Mom's older children are utterly loyal to their mother and antagonizing the Straw Hat Pirates; her oldest son Perospero especially shares her love of sweets, while one of her youngest daughters has her homicidal and sadistic tendencies.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon:
** Most of the younger children play it straight by being more decent, reasonable, and often physically attractive. Moscato in particular was decent and reasonable, and even tried to calm Big Mom down [[spoiler:when she went on a hunger-induced rampage]]. Physically, he's not hard on the eyes, either.
** Two of Big Mom's daughters who have been seen in {{Arranged Marriage}}s are very loving and supportive of their husbands. In contrast, Big Mom only sees her husbands as sperm banks and discards them as soon as they served their purpose.
* MafiaPrincess: Big Mom's daughters are usually treated like this, i.e being pampered with wealth and money but not having much choice in their lives. [[spoiler:Lola escaped that life years ago when she was set up for an important ArrangedMarriage with the giant prince, Loki.]]
* ManiacTongue: Perospero was seen in his debut licking a candy cane with his long tongue while sporting a sick, insane look on his face. He also can turn people into candy and eat them.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: ''39 daughters and 46 sons''. One must wonder how Big Mom was able to raise them all. Especially given that they were all born over the course of 42 years, with at least one child born ''every single year'' during that period, and there were multiple instances of multiple births among them... including a set of ''decuplets'' (ten children at once).
* MeaningfulName: The Charlotte family in general seems to be entirely named after sweets and other kinds of food, which completely fits with Big Mom's love of sweets. Almost all of them also reference their own name in various ways, either by [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance their appearance]] or [[StevenUlyssesPerhero their powers.]]
** Praline is named after a confection that contains nuts and sugar; while she's ultimately a good person, she can be a little nutty (pun intended) and [[ClingyJealousGirl possessive]] when it comes to her husband [[spoiler:Aladdin of the Sun Pirates]] (though she's more loyal to him than her mother Big Mom). Alternatively, her name takes after the "Pralinières", young women who were also called "casket girls" due to them carrying all their belongings in small jewelry boxes. These women were also candy-makers who were taught lessons that would allow them to marry higher than their station. Praline herself, despite her mother being a pirate, is of high birth due to Big Mom's "Emperor" status and global affluence.
** Bobbin's name references [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobblehead bobblehead dolls]], and his habit has him bobbing his head sideways while talking to someone. It also seems to be related to his ForcedSleep powers as he's seen bobbing his head to put subordinates to sleep. Alternatively, it could reference Halloween's "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_bobbing apple-bobbing]]" tradition.
** As a whole, the Charlotte family is named after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_(cake) charlotte cake]], which is made of several ingredients that most of Big Mom's children happened to be named after. It could reference how almost all members of the family are working together to help their mother keep Totto Land running.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler:After being constantly abused by Big Mom for looking like her runaway twin sister, Lola, Chiffon decides to help her husband Bege off her mother on Sanji's wedding day. She even makes that clear in front of Brulee. [[BigBrotherInstinct Though she has another reason for her compliance]].]]
* {{Mooks}}: The Chess Soldiers, which are [[ChessMotifs chess-themed Homies]] with card-themed weaponry.
* MundaneUtility: Perospero's candy powers are great to get rid of nuisances, as well as create large structures which are then reinforced with iron. They can also be used to decorate cream puffs, and make an escalator.
* MulticoloredHair: With his debut in Episode 788, Moscato's hair is revealed to be half pink, half dark-blue.
* NeverMyFault: When Randolph mistakenly (almost) attacks Cracker, the latter gets angry at the former. Randolph blames the crane he was riding... while the crane blames him back.
* NiceHat:
** Perospero wears a striped top hat where the brim is lined with lollipops.
** Big Mom's 1st daughter, Compote, wears a hat that resembles a glass filled with fruit.
* NonIndicativeName: You'd be forgiven for thinking Perospero's Devil Fruit power (Pero Pero no Mi/Lick Lick Fruit) is solely about licking things based on its name when it's actually about creating candy (that one can lick), including [[BalefulPolymorph turning people into candy]].
* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler:Moscato was the "Offspring" in question. Big Mom didn't recognize him while she was on a hunger-induced rampage, and killed him when he got scared trying to calm her down]].
* OneManArmy: Apparently, Bobbin alone was enough to burn down a whole country ''by himself''. This pretty much applies to most of Big Mom's crew as when gathering supplies for the tea party, they only sent one member from the crew to get one particular ingredient.
* OrnamentalWeapon: Moscato carried a sword with a ice cream cone-shaped hilt. [[spoiler:Never got to use it, not that it would've helped him against Big Mom anyway]].
* OverlyLongTongue: Perospero's tongue is very long by human standards. It allows him to lick big candy.
* PettingZooPeople: Randolph is an anthropomorphic rabbit, though as Carrot confirmed, he's not a Mink. He's a previously normal rabbit that was given sentience by Big Mom.
* PerpetualSmiler: Bobbin is always seen with a face-wide grin. [[spoiler:He only loses it when he's shot from afar by Bege's men, implied to be [[FanBoy Vito]].]]
* PlayingWithFire: Charlotte Oven, of a sort. He ate the Heat Heat Fruit (''Netsu Netsu no Mi''), which allows him to radiate heat and make anything he touches extremely hot, as if they had been just taken out of the oven. Basically, it's similar to the anime-only Hot-Hot Fruit (''Atsu Atsu no Mi'') eaten by Don Achino.
* PokeThePoodle: Anglaise's idea of delinquency? Not brushing his teeth before bed.
* PrettyInMink: Galette is never seen without her dark feather coat, and isn't so hard on the eyes herself, either. [[FurAndLoathing That being said, she's a lackey/child of Big Mom]].
* ProperlyParanoid: Mont-d'Or orders the Chess Soldiers to keep looking for Luffy and Nami despite Opera claiming he killed them, rightfully believing Opera was being less than honest about what really happened. [[spoiler:His suspicions are later confirmed in Chapter 863 when Luffy indeed shows up alive during the crashing of Sanji and Pudding's wedding, much to his fury.]]
* PunnyName: Perospero's name is both based on the [[PunnyName Japanese onomatopoeia for licking,]] "Pero pero" (his Devil Fruit is also ''Pero Pero no Mi''), and an allusion to Prospero, a magician from Shakespeare's play ''[[Theatre/TheTempest The Tempest]]''.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Moscato was the only Minister of Totto Land who's decent enough to try calm Big Mom down [[spoiler:when she goes on a hunger-induced rampage that endangers many citizens; [[AdaptationalExpansion in the anime, he can be seen evacuating many of said citizens to safety while Big Mom terrorizes Sweet City, and saved a little girl from being trampled by Big Mom]]. Too bad he got scared at the last minute and had his soul ripped out of him. The crowd of his immediate mourners was quite large; among them is a young boy who cries over Moscato's husk of a body [[PleaseWakeUp begging him to come back]]]].
* RedBaron: Many of Big Mom's children and crew members have their own epithet as a result of their badassery. Examples revealed so far included Bobbin "the Disposer", "Crane Rider" Randolph, Montd'Or "the Secretary", etc.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:When news of Cracker's defeat by Luffy spread, Big Mom's crew and children take up arms ''en masse'' and go to hunt down Luffy]].
* ScaryTeeth: Praline has shark teeth due to being a hammerhead shark mermaid, but it's subverted as it doesn't detract from her beauty and she's a good person despite being one of Big Mom's daughters.
* SharedFamilyQuirks:
** Although she looks nothing like Big Mom physically, Anana seems to have inherited her insane and homicidal tendencies from her.
** Perospero shares his mother's love for sweets, if his habit of licking and candy powers are of indication.
* SharpDressedMan: Perospero's outfit is reminiscent of this despite it making him look like an utter whackjob.
* ShoulderTeammate: Counter is often seen with a tiny woman hanging off of his left arm, even in battle.
* ShoutOut:
** Perospero, to [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka]]. Both of their occupations and themes revolve entirely around sweets, and are creators of candy-making factories. Both also wear {{Nice Hat}}s and are sharply dressed. His name, meanwhile, is a pun of Prospero, a character from William Shakespeare's ''The Tempest''.
** One then-unnamed member glimpsed at in the Fishman Island arc is a cute girl with three eyes. It could be a ShoutOut to Yuzo Takada's ''Manga/SazanEyes'', to Tenshinhan from ''Manga/DragonBall'', or to Hosuke Sharaku from ''Manga/TheThreeEyedOne''. Her hair style, the fact she was wearing pink, and the fact her eyes were initially closed also bring to mind [[Anime/CodeGeass Nunnally Lamperouge]]. Her reveal as [[spoiler: Charlotte Pudding]] yield another ''3x3 Eyes'' connection: [[spoiler: the reveal of her third eye follows the reveal of her real, evil personality. In ''3x3 Eyes'' the girl's third eye is a separate, more coldly logical (and male) personality]].
** Randolph, to ''Literature/TheVelveteenRabbit'', in where he was given a human soul by Big Mom, allowing him to act and fight like a human. His outfit is also reminiscent of ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers''.
* SignatureLaugh: Praline's "Shashasha".
* SkeletonMotif: Mont-d'Or wears an outfit designed with a skeleton pattern, possibly reflecting him being the Minister of Cheese, as cheese is a famously high source of calcium.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:Streusen]] had no more than 3 panels of screentime and was essentially a non-presence in the story up until Big Mom's past was further explored, revealing his real contribution to the formation of the Big Mom Pirates as well as being TheCorrupter to Linlin.
* StaringDownCthulhu: Moscato attempted to do this [[spoiler:when he tried to calm Big Mom down from her hunger-induced rampage]], but got scared at the last minute after he was warned not to [[spoiler:and gets his lifespan yanked out of him trying to flee]]. Kudos to him for trying, though.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero:
** Perospero's name puns with "pero pero" (Japanese sound for licking). He is a Devil Fruit user who eats candy by licking them and can turn people into candy.
** Oven, true to his name, can generate extreme heat with his Netsu Netsu no Mi power.
* StrongFamilyResemblance:
** Chiffon strongly resembles her runaway sister [[spoiler:Lola]] in all but hair (Chiffon has GirlishPigtails while the latter has braids). Though it's justified due to them being identical twins.
** Two of Big Mom's youngest sons Dolce and Dragée resemble each other so much, you'd think they could be identical twins.
** Aside from the facial scarring, Brulee looks like a (very) thin version of her mother.
** Chiffon's son Pez heavily resembles his father Capone Bege of the Firetank Pirates, ''complete with hat, stubble, and cigar''.
** Big Mom's first daughter, Compote, is her mother's spitting image in all but hat (she wears a glass filled with fruit for a hat).
* ThirdEye: [[spoiler: Pudding has three eyes]].
* ThreateningShark: Subverted; despite being a (half) hammerhead shark mermaid, Praline's actually quite lovely.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: Mont-d'Or's ability revolves around books. He can make books fly (and stand on 2 flying books) and he can trap Luffy in a book dimension.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Praline and Chiffon are larger than their husbands, Aladdin and Capone Bege respectively.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Praline at least suggested that she'll follow her husband more than her own mom anytime. [[spoiler:That eventually comes true, with her supporting Aladdin and Sun Pirates' decision of betraying Big Mom. Chiffon is also revealed to be this, wholly behind her husband Bege's plan of assassinating her mom, because [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal of the abuse Big Mom gave her]], and she knows her twin's life is in danger as long as her mom is still alive.]]
* TopHeavyGuy:
** Moscato has a very large and bulky torso compared to his rather skinny arms and legs.
** Moscato's older brother, Daifuku, has large shoulders and a large torso, yet skinny legs, similar to Franky's.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior:
** Anana thinks that ''mutilating her own toys with knives'' is fun. Also earned her siblings' hatred by tormenting them and (for Dolce and Dragée) constantly popping their balloons.
** One of Anana's siblings isn't any better, voicing a desire to ''kill her'' for being so rotten.
** Parodied with Anglaise, who tries really hard to emulate a {{Greaser Delinquent|s}}. His idea of delinquency was ''not brushing teeth before bed''.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter:
** Most of [[{{Gonk}} Big Mom]]'s younger children are very attractive or at least decent-looking. Pudding in particular looks ''nothing'' like her despite being one of her daughters, and Praline is pretty easy on the eye as well (discounting her ScaryTeeth).
** It's double-subverted with Cracker, who's a {{Gonk}} like his mother... when he dons his Biscuit Soldier armor. His real face, while isn't exactly pretty, it isn't outright Gonk either.
** Subverted for Chiffon [[spoiler:and her twin sister Lola]] whose face is also quite as ugly, as well as Brulee.
* TheUnfavorite: [[spoiler:As it turns out, Chiffon is this to Big Mom, all because [[MisplacedRetribution she looks like her twin sister]], who ran away from a political marriage, to the point of frequently beating her to near death whenever they met. Said twin sister, Lola, is also hated by a large majority of her family, with most of her siblings being willing to help Big Mom assassinate her.]]
* VillainousGlutton:
** Perospero shares his mother's love for sweets and enjoys licking candies. And he can [[BalefulPolymorph turn humans into candy by his powers]], so he's basically [[ImAHumanitarian a cannibal]].
** Bobbin "the Disposer" is implied to enjoy eating. Also he razed a country who couldn't pay tribute to Big Mom in time and laughed about it.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Like his younger brother and fellow Minister, Cracker, Oven wears a cape and nothing else from the waist up.
* WarriorPrince: The majority of Big Mom's sons seen so far are Devil Fruit users and capable fighters.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:The 16th son Charlotte Moscato was introduced with a character box description, but then gets killed by his mother Big Mom shortly thereafter]].
* WhenTreesAttack: The trees of the Seducing Woods are alive thanks to Big Mom's powers and are tasked to keep any intruders trapped in.
* WhiteSheep: So far, Charlotte sisters Praline and Chiffon are shown to be more kindhearted than their mother and a large portion of their family. [[spoiler:The former leaves Totto Land with her husband and the Sun Pirates before Sanji and Pudding's wedding started, and the latter opposes Big Mom for constantly abusing her and threatening the well-being of her identical twin sister, Lola.]]
* TheWonka: Perospero is essentially a walking [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka]] reference.
* WouldHitAGirl: Daifuku slaps his sister Pudding away [[spoiler:after she fails to kill Sanji as planned, and attempts to do it himself.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair:
** Galette has magenta-pink hair, as of Episode 788.
** Charlotte Chiffon has light pink hair as well as her identical twin sister [[spoiler:Lola]].
* YoureNotMyFather:
** Due to Big Mom teaching her kids that [[GlorifiedSpermDonor their fathers are outsiders and therefore not "true" family]], some of them treat their fathers with absolute disdain, as seen with Cracker and his interactions with his stepfather, Pound.
** [[spoiler:A gender-inverted example with Chiffon; because Big Mom constantly takes her frustration out on Chiffon due to her twin sister Lola running away on an important political marriage and they're twins, Chiffon doesn't see Big Mom as her mother anymore after all the beatings she got from her, and is willing to go along with Capone's plan to take her down. That and [[BigBrotherInstinct she wants Lola to be safe]]]].
* YouthfulFreckles: Praline has lots of facial freckles, and looks quite lovely compared to [[{{Gonk}} her mother]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Three Sweet Commanders]]
The Three Sweet Commanders are extremely powerful Devil Fruit users and warriors, each with the highest known bounties ever recorded in ''One Piece''. Because of their skill and reputation, they are Big Mom's CoDragons, acting as her executive officers as well as her pirate crew's strongest and most feared fighters. There was also originally a fourth commander named Snack who lost his/her ranking after being defeated by "Mad Monk" Urouge; whether this means Snack was killed, demoted, or something else altogether remains unknown.

The current roster consists of Charlotte Katakuri and his younger brother Charlotte Cracker, and their sister Charlotte Smoothie. For more information on them, go to Characters/OnePieceMajorVillainsNewWorld.
----
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: All three Sweet Commanders are extremely powerful, with the highest bounties in ''One Piece''.
* BadassPrincess: Smoothie is the 14th daughter of a queen and pirate Emperor, with one of the highest bounties a female ''One Piece'' character can hold. She is able to fight as well as her brothers and fellow Sweet Commanders.
* BrotherSisterTeam: The Sweet Commanders currently consists of Big Mom's 14th daughter, Smoothie, and Big Mom's sons, Cracker (10th) and Katakuri (2nd). All of them work together to ensure Totto Land is still up and running.
* CoDragons: For Big Mom, who is both their direct superior and biological mother.
* TheDreaded: All of them are generally thought as this, as many other pirates face a brick wall when they meet any one of them. There actually used to be four of them, but Urouge managed to defeat one before being defeated and chased out to a Sky Island by Cracker/Big Mom.
* FourIsDeath: As mentioned above, there used to be a fourth member named "Snack", who lost his/her ranking after being defeated by "Mad Monk" Urouge in the past.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Their decisions since coming into conflict with the Straw Hats hadn't been that great, allowing their enemies to interfere with Big Mom's operations and crash Sanji and Pudding's wedding without a hitch.
** Cracker deciding to [[ExplainingYourPowersToTheEnemy reveal how his powers worked]] to Luffy and Nami as a joke not only gets his ass kicked, but also sends Totto Land [[MassOhCrap into lockdown]], allowing the Straw Hats to travel deeper into enemy territory (mostly) undeterred.
** Smoothie not telling Big Mom about what Jimbei did to her "[[AndIMustScream library collection]]" out of the desire not to spoil both the wedding plans and her mother's good mood, not only allows the trapped prisoners to get away undeterred, but allows Luffy and Nami to escape and come back with stronger reinforcements for their WeddingSmashers plan.
** Despite being having almost perfect CombatClairvoyance, Katakuri ends up making bad calls that fail to improve the situation for his family. First, he tries to snipe Sanji when he predicts that [[spoiler: Pudding and the priest]] will fail to do so, only for Sanji to dodge and tip off the Vinsmokes that something's going on. Then, when Luffy and his clones appear to wreak havoc, he tells everyone to ignore the transformed animals and focus on Luffy... which means no one is paying attention to [[spoiler:Brook-disguised-as-Luffy as he sneaks around and destroys Mother Carmel's portrait.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: There's no telling if Snack is dead or not, but after getting defeated in the past, he/she doesn't appear in the present.
* SiblingYinYang: Both Cracker and Smoothie have fairly outgoing and confident personalities. Katakuri? He just glares at everyone and radiates death wherever he goes.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Like most of their siblings, the Sweet Commanders are named after food that also relate to their Devil Fruit powers.
* SubmissiveBadass: All of them are capable of kicking ass, but they are utterly loyal to Big Mom, who is also their biological mother, and following her orders are their greatest priority.
* TerribleTrio: After Snack got defeated by Urouge and was subsequently demoted/killed/whatever, the Sweet Commanders' number was reduced to three, with Smoothie, Cracker, and Katakuri remaining. It still doesn't make them any less dangerous in the eyes of the world.
* WarriorPrince: Cracker and Katakuri are sons of Big Mom and ''very'' accomplished fighters, with high bounties under their belts.

!!Pekoms
[[quoteright:245:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smokep_8.png]]

-->Voiced by: Creator/NobuoTobita (JP)

A humanoid lion and a combatant of the Big Mom Pirates, he and Baron Tamago are the first members of the crew to appear, being introduced in Chapter 651 as the two collectors for the monthly payment of sweets that Fishman Island owes to Big Mom for her protection. It is later revealed that he is a lion [[PettingZooPeople Mink]] who was born in Zou.

He ate the Turtle-Turtle Fruit (Kame Kame no Mi), a Zoan Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a tortoise.

He has a bounty of 330,000,000 berries.
-----
* AfroAsskicker: A powerful Mink with a large bounty and a nice blonde 'fro.
* BadassAdorable: His eyes are ridiculously tiny and utterly defuse any seriousness when he's trying to threaten people. He also has a bounty of 330,000,000 Berries and expressed confidence that only he and Capone Bege would be needed to retrieve Caesar Clown and deal with the Straw Hats.
* ButtMonkey: His interactions with Luffy following [[spoiler:being shot and abandoned by Bege]] have him suffering one indignity after another, to the point where he declares Luffy the worst savior ever after Luffy decides to carry him around like a backpack since he's injured.
* CatFolk: He is a lion Mink.
* CurbStompBattle: Pekoms' fight with Caribou could barely even be called that, as Caribou failed to even scratch him and was absolutely ''pulverized'' in one Haki-imbued punch.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:In ch. 834, even after being tied down and about to be shot down to a sea infested with deadly fishes, he shouts to Bege that this insubordination (shooting down Big Mom's crew) shall not go unpunished. Bege then shoots him.]]
* {{Delinquents}}: Was implied by Wanda to have been one in his younger days.
* DramaticIrony: After [[spoiler:being abandoned by Capone Bege on Zou, he believes he's expected back at Whole Cake Island and that Bege will be reprimanded for his actions, unaware that even ''his partner Tamago'' believes that Bege did the right thing by abandoning him]]. However, Tamago is willing to beg Big Mom to take him back as seen below so he does still care for his partner.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** Pekoms has family and friends in Zou who he truly cares about, and is willing to spare the Straw Hats upon finding out that they saved them. [[spoiler:His associate Bege [[BeingPersonalIsntProfessional doesn't have the same sentiments and shoots him as punishment for letting his feelings get in the way]].]]
** [[spoiler:During the defeat of the Nox Pirates 5 years ago, he was in tears begging Big Mom to spare Pedro who Pekoms claimed was like a brother.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: After [[spoiler:he rejects Bege's offer to be an accomplice in assassinating Big Mom, Bege shoots him into shark-infested waters to prevent him from telling anyone. It doesn't work thanks to the Sun Pirates rescuing him]].
* InstantArmor: His turtle shell is about as hard as diamond and can easily stop even bullets.
* KiAttacks: He can at least use Armament Haki.
* LegallyDead: After being shot and abandoned by Bege, he has been written off as dead by his crew. [[spoiler:[[WithFriendsLikeThese They don't have any qualms about it]].]] Although Tamago is an exception; when he found out that Pekoms might be alive he asked the soldiers to search for him, and if he was indeed alive he was going to beg Big Mom to take him back.
* LightningBruiser: Pekoms is fast enough to nonchalantly dodge Caribou's scythe, strong enough to demolish him in a single punch and shatter said scythe, and durable enough with his Devil Fruit to tank gunfire without a scratch on him.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: While recuperating [[spoiler:from being shot off a cliff]], the Sun Pirates keep him in the dark about [[spoiler:their plans to flee Big Mom's organization and that Jimbei is planning on forming an alliance with Bege rather than ratting him out]].
* MixAndMatchCritter: As a lion mink who ate a turtle Zoan fruit, he's basically a lion turtle.
* MoralMyopia: He is unquestionably loyal to an Emperor who burns down entire countries when they don't give her what she wants. Then he gets pissed when his own country is almost destroyed by another Emperor's crew when Zou don't give them what they want.
* MysteriousPast: Apart from his apparent years as a delinquent, he was once a member of the Nox Pirates, who were on a quest to find Poneglyphs, until they ran afoul Big Mom. For some reason, Pekoms abandoned his crew and joined Big Mom's while Pedro, his captain, lost fifty years of his life and their comrade Zepo was killed.
* NonchalantDodge: Pekoms casually dodges a scythe attack from Caribou. It only takes two panels and Pekoms only makes the minimum effort necessary for Caribou to miss.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:After being shot off the cliff by Capone and into shark infested waters. He's rescued by the fortunate timing of the Sun Pirates offscreen.]]
* OrnamentalWeapon: Has a sword that he never uses.
* PantheraAwesome: A very strong humanoid lion.
* PunnyName: Pekoms may come from "Peko Peko", a Japanese expression for hunger.
* RealMenWearPink: He's an anthropomorphic lion with a past of delinquency. He also walks around in a fabulous pink suit.
* RedOniBlueOni: Is the more emotional and easily provoked Red Oni compared to his reasonable Blue Oni partner Tamago.
* SharpDressedMan: Just like his partner Tamago, he wears a pink suit.
* ShoutOut: His being a lion turtle is likely a reference to the mythological creature of the same name, as well as the tarasque, a mythical French creature.
* TalkingAnimal: Pekoms is a talking lion. He's actually of the Mink race.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Is this for the Big Mom Pirates, at least to a degree. While he still carries out Big Mom's orders, he's willing to help the Straw Hats (especially after they saved his homeland) and has some sense of empathy.
* TurtlePower: Pekoms has a Turtle Zoan, making him a [[MixAndMatchCritter Lion-Turtle]] man. He can duck his head and limbs inside his shell to protect himself from harm.
* VerbalTic: Likes to add "gao" to his speeches.

!!Baron Tamago
[[quoteright:270:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tamago_anime.png]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/{{Mugihito}} (JP)

A combatant for the Big Mom Pirates and Pekoms' partner in collecting the monthly payment of sweets that Fishman Island owes Big Mom for her protection, he is introduced in Chapter 651. An extraordinarily tall man with a body shaped liked an egg, he is revealed to be a member of the Longleg tribe.

He ate the Tama Tama no Mi (Egg Egg Fruit) that turns his body into an egg, which, if cracked, will make him "reborn" into a humanoid chick with a new egg body, and then "reborn" again into a humanoid chicken if he gets cracked again, each time making him stronger than before.

He has a bounty of 429,000,000 berries.
-----
* AffablyEvil: He is as gentlemanly as a pirate can get. He is also far more reasonable and less aggressive than Pekoms.
* ArchEnemy: To Pedro, who he considers a WorthyOpponent.
* AristocratsAreEvil: While it's still unknown what exactly he is the Baron of, he still works for Big Mom.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Seems to have an egg theme going on. His name means "egg" in Japanese, and his body and face are egg-shaped. He also loves talking in egg metaphors, and wears an egg shell in addition to his pink suit. [[StevenUlyssesPerhero His Devil Fruit power is also related to eggs.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's the most polite and reasonable member of the Big Mom Pirates to be shown so far, but he's a fearsome and bloodthirsty combatant with a bounty almost as high as Luffy's.
* CameBackStrong: His Devil Fruit allows him to revive from fatal attacks stronger than he was before. He does this by splitting apart like an egg and reforming from the yolk in chicken form. He also went from Baron Tamago to "Viscount Chick" and then "Duke Chicken" as his subordinates put it.
* CulturedBadass: He's based on an aristocrat, but he's able to equal or possibly exceed Pedro in battle.
* {{Expy}}: Of ''Humpty Dumpty'', keeping with the Fairy Tale theme of the Big Mom Pirates. He also resembles [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]] in terms of design.
* EyeScream: He is blinded in his left eye, [[spoiler: which was caused by Pedro]].
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a scar running down over his left eye, and while he doesn't seem at all like a particularly evil man, he still does the bidding of [[AxeCrazy Big]] [[EvilOverlord Mom]].
* GlassesPull: When he and his forces finally corner Pedro, he does this, [[spoiler:revealing that the scar over his left eye blinded him.]]
* GratuitousFrench: Tamago says French words at the end of statements, bon. In the Viz translation, Tamago randomly substitutes English words for French cognates in his speech (such as "militaire" in place of "military").
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Pedro cuts him in half during their duel, but his Devil Fruit power just causes him to split apart like an egg and come back to life. This is repeated again with the same results, so Pedro gets wise and switches to explosives.
* MadeOfIron: Even after getting blown up with loads of dynamites, he (as Duke Chicken) turns up okay in the next chapter.
* MeaningfulName: "Tamago" means "egg", which is quite fitting considering his body and face shape. His devil fruit power is also egg based.
* NiceHat: It doubles as a cup of tea.
* OneWingedAngel: His Devil Fruit power basically causes him to do this every time his body is split, ending in him becoming a massive and purportedly extremely strong rooster-man.
* OnlySaneMan: Tamago, compared to the other members seen so far, seems to be the most reasonable and calm.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Pekoms' Red. As stated above, he's far more reasonable and less aggressive than Pekoms.
* SharpDressedMan: Is pretty dapper for an underling of Big Mom. Just look at his page image!
* ShoutOut: Tamago has long legs, an egg-shaped body, and a mustache, like [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]]. Even his name (see above) translates to "Egg Baron"!
* SinisterShades: Wears a pair of triangular ones. Despite his affiliations, he's more affable and reasonable than most of Big Mom's crew.
* TalksLikeASimile: He loves his egg metaphors.
* TopHeavyGuy: His egg-shaped upper body is quite large compared to his long, skinny legs. [[ShoutOut Just like]] [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]]. Justified in that thanks to his Devil Fruit, Tamago is a ''literal'' egg man.
* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Averted. When he starts transforming a second time, Pedro decided to attack before he could reform, trying to blow him up with a bundle of explosives. He survived, but points for effort.
* VerbalTic: Likes to add "bon" or other French words at the end of his sentences, bon.
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler: He sees Pedro as this, as both of them blinded the other during Pedro's raid on Big Mom's territories 5 years ago]].

!!Charlotte Pudding
[[quoteright:229:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charlotte_pudding_casual_outfit.png]]

-->Voiced by: Creator/MiyukiSawashiro

A member of the Charlotte Family (though seemingly not a member of the crew), she is Big Mom's 35th daughter and Sanji's intended bride-to-be. She works as a chocolatier and cafe owner on Cacao Island. She first appears in Chapter 824 in a photo, and makes a full-body appearance in Chapter 827. She ate the Memory-Memory Fruit (''Memo Memo no Mi'') which allows her to view any person's memories and make any changes to alter them.

-----

* AdaptationalCurves: In the anime she is more buxom than in the manga.
* {{Adorkable}}: Subverted. Her relationship with Straw Hats and her love of Sanji is initially cute and she is blushing like a kid when they congratulate her. Then TheReveal comes. [[spoiler:Then somewhat rebuilt by Chapter 862, where a compliment from Sanji about her third eye flusters her to the point of tears.]]
* ApologisesALot: After hearing of the Vinsmokes' ''horrendous'' treatment of Sanji and how he was "[[{{Blackmail}} persuaded]]" into marrying Pudding, Pudding switches between being horrified, crying, and apologizing for inconveniencing him.[[spoiler:Too bad it's all an act and she doesn't care about him at all. To add insult to injury, she even mocks how he fell for her crocodile tears later on]].
* ArmorPiercingAttack: [[spoiler: She owns a powerful revolver with special bullets that can pierce the [[SuperToughness hardened body]] of SuperSoldier Vinsmoke Reiju]].
* ArmorPiercingQuestion:
--> '''Pudding''': ''[[spoiler: I've deceived thousands of people like this!]]''\\
'''Sanji''': [[spoiler: And were you yourself one of them, Pudding?]]
* ArrangedMarriage: With Sanji. Both would've liked it if it didn't mean tearing Sanji away from the Straw Hat pirates and his dream of finding the All Blue. [[spoiler:And both would've liked it if Pudding [[BreakTheCutie hadn't snapped as a kid]] and become a bitter, angry, manipulative BitchInSheepsClothing sent by Big Mom to lure Sanji and his family into an alliance that was a complete farce to begin with, so Big Mom can wipe them out [[Series/GameOfThrones Red Wedding-style]]]].
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: Her true personality. She's a sadistic psychopath much like her mother, and she takes great joy in fooling the Straw Hats and telling them to their faces that they're going to die. She also shot Reiju with an armor-piercing bullet, which caused Reiju to bleed profusely from her legs, and then messed with Reiju's memories to get away with it]].
* BaitTheDog: [[spoiler: Was introduced as a seemingly nice girl who genuinely had Sanji's interests in mind, only to reveal her cruel and sadistic nature later on. What's extra heartbreaking is that she was the ''one'' positive thing Sanji had going for him in the arc... and he had to see her deception with his own eyes.]]
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: She's among the few of Big Mom's many children that look conventionally pretty and as such she's more morally upright than many of her siblings. [[spoiler: Except she's actually just as bad as her mother and intentionally uses her looks to craft a faux NiceGirl image, making her actually a case of BeautyIsBad. Slightly [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] though because she has a ThirdEye that makes her much more unsettling looking to match her personality better]].
* BerserkButton:
** Just like her groom-to-be, her button is wasting food. She gets angry that her chocolate building wasn't completely eaten rather than the fact that Luffy and Chopper were basically causing property damage.
** [[spoiler: She also has another one... one that she shows with her genuine personality. She ''really'' doesn't like people being perverted towards her, [[PervertRevengeMode being overcome with rage]] and the desire to kill [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]] on the spot when he has a {{Nosebleed}} while talking to her]].
** The biggest one, though? [[spoiler: Calling her ThirdEye hideous. After one mocking too many, it becomes her "kill horribly" button. When [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]] becomes the first person to [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe her third eye "beautiful"]], it shocks her so much that she's reduced to genuine BrokenTears.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: She's pretending to be nice. In truth, after reaching her breaking point, she became as AxCrazy as most of her older/younger siblings.]]
* BrokenBird: As of Chapter 862, she's revealed to be this. [[spoiler: A disastrous childhood combination of family and strangers alike calling her ThirdEye freakish made her snap and become the monster they all called her. Sanji calling her third eye beautiful affects her so much that she collapses in tears.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: She looked rather uncomfortable and perhaps fearful of Big Mom as she ate her subordinates in her early appearance [[spoiler:in the Fishman Island arc]], which seems to contradict her later characterization as [[spoiler:a violent psychopath who enjoys working for her mom]]. 862, however, shows that [[spoiler: Big Mom used to verbally/emotionally abuse her when she was young, coupled with how she's aware that Big Mom's "love" of her is limited to how useful she is, it looks like the fear was genuine.]]
* ConsummateLiar: [[spoiler: She's an expert actor and quite a snake, successfully fooling the Straw Hats and Vinsmokes into believing she was a good person.]]
** [[spoiler: She's so good, that during the wedding, Sanji starts to question himself if perhaps what he saw earlier was all just a bad dream or his imagination. Though his love for beautiful women doesn't help either.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: Pudding is the three-eyed woman sitting next to Big Mom in Chapter 651. She keeps her ThirdEye hidden when she is properly introduced and only reveals it when she shows her true nature.]]
** ChekhovsGun: Her [[spoiler:third eye]] itself, considering that [[spoiler: Sanji calling it beautiful is what triggers her tearful breakdown.]]
* CreepyChild: [[spoiler: When little Pudding snapped after all the abuse, she stabbed one of her bullies with a knife with a SlasherSmile and angry tears falling from her three eyes.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: During her VillainousBreakdown after Sanji tells her that her ThirdEye is beautiful, a TroubledBackstoryFlashback shows that Pudding's past [[BreakTheCutie wasn't exactly easy]]. [[AbusiveParents Big Mom]] may have wanted the powers of said ThirdEye but she told her to hide it under her bangs because it looks weird. Plus [[BigBrotherBully her older siblings]] called her a monster and she was bullied by other children for her eye [[ThenLetMeBeEvil until she snapped on them]] [[AxeCrazy with a knife]].]]
* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:After revealing [[EvilAllAlong her true character]] to Reiju, she wonders how her husband-to-be Sanji would think of her now, unaware that Sanji himself had just witnessed all that had transpired right outside her window, [[BrokenTears with a completely heartbroken look on his face]]]].
* EvilAllAlong: As of Chapter 850, Pudding reveals that [[spoiler:she's been playing ''everyone'' for fools -- the Vinsmokes, Sanji, Luffy, and Nami are all fooled by her, and she plans on executing every last one of them]].
* EvilGloating: Not long after she [[spoiler:reveals her deception to Reiju and, inadvertently, Sanji, who's eavesdropping outside her room, she goes on to mock Sanji's declaration of love to her and how pathetic he both looked and sounded while doing so, even making faces just to drive home the point of her cruelty.]]
* EvilerThanThou: She laughs at the notion of [[spoiler:the Germa 66 being a "mythical evil army"]], calling them naive and [[spoiler:mocking Reiju about how they have no idea what they're dealing with regarding the Big Mom Pirates.]]
* FakeMemories: [[spoiler:While it's not known if she can create false memories outright, she can falsify other people's memories thanks to her Devil Fruit.]]
* FamilyThemeNaming: Shares this with most of her siblings; she's named after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pudding pudding]], a dish that is usually a sweet dessert, but can be savory as well.
* {{Foil}}: To Reiju. [[spoiler: Both are expert actors who hide their true nature and were at different times Sanji's "ray of hope". Pudding hides her sadistic nature behind an innocent face, while Reiju hides her compassion and empathy behind an aloof, cold-hearted façade. Pudding fooled Sanji into loving her and Reiju had to distance herself from Sanji despite greatly caring for her brother. Pudding is Sanji's false hope and betrayed him at his lowest, Reiju actually rescued Sanji in his darkest day. The contrast is most prominent in chapter 850, when they meet face to face: Pudding gleefully breaks character by revealing her contempt for Sanji and sadistic nature, while Reiju remains calm and composed "in character". Plus, both were abused by their parents in different ways (Judge modified Reiju so she wouldn't go against him, Big Mom mocked Pudding for her ThirdEye and sees her as more of a potential tool than anything else) and said abuse shaped them, with Reiju as a BrokenBird StepfordSmiler and Pudding as a BitchInSheepsClothing WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds]].
** Also to her groom-to-be, Sanji. [[spoiler:Both were horrifically abused in their childhoods, with Sanji being seen as a weak waste of space by his father and brothers, while Pudding was seen and treated as a monster for having a third eye. But while Sanji had love and support in the form of his (dead) mother and sister, Reiju, Pudding had no one to turn to, and the years of suffering torment alone caused her to become a thoroughly BrokenBird and {{Jerkass}} par none. Sanji is still a nice guy underneath his JerkWithAHeartOfGold tendencies, while Pudding wears a sweet and lovable mask to hide the broken nastiness underneath.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** In hindsight, her [[spoiler:deceitful nature and skill in lying]] was hinted at in her first appearance. She shows up and effortlessly [[spoiler:lies to some police officers in order to get Luffy and Chopper off the hook for eating the chocolate cafe.]]
** "Nitro the Jelly" appearing with her in her "debut" was also a clue to the audience that she was [[spoiler: the same three-eyed girl seen in chapter 651]], as she appeared with her blob pet then too, though his face could not be seen at the time.
** [[spoiler: What's more, she was the one who came up with the plan to have Sanji "meet" the Straw Hats at a rendezvous spot near Big Mom's castle. When the crew got there, Sanji was nowhere to be found and the crew was attacked both by the Wandering Woods, her sister Brulee and not long after, Cracker. To say that was a bit more than a coincidence is an understatement.]]
* FreakinessShame: She apparently hides something about herself that she finds shameful to everyone. [[spoiler:Because of her ThirdEye, she was horribly mocked about it by little kids and her own siblings; even her mom called it "weird" and told her to hide it under her bangs. She eventually came to believe [[IAmAMonster she was a monster too]] and started acting like one. Part of the plan to assassinate the Vinsmokes was to take advantage of Sanji's expected shock and disgust when he first sees her third eye after lifting her veil to shoot him in the face.]] Sanji calling her [[spoiler:third eye]] "[[FreakyIsCool beautiful]]" after seeing it up close for the first time causes her to break down in sincere tears.
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: Not ''only'' was she raised by the [[EvilMatriarch psychopathic Big Mom]] (who's known to instill horrible values into her children), but she was also viciously bullied as a child for her ThirdEye and was driven to insanity, coming to believe that she really was the creepy monstrosity everybody said she was. Having her enemy call her extra eye "beautiful" immediately causes her to suffer a VillainousBreakdown from the conflict of emotions.]]
* GirlishPigtails: Wearing them in the photo Sanji is shown of her, which is her first appearance. She also wears them in her debut chapter.
* GoodEyesEvilEyes: [[spoiler:Though she has big, round, PuppyDogEyes whenever she's putting on her NiceGirl act, they become noticeably sharper and more dangerous looking when she's being [[{{Jerkass}} herself]]]].
* HalfHumanHybrid: It's mentioned that she's a half breed [[spoiler:of the three-eyed tribe.]]
* HandCannon: [[spoiler:The barrel of her revolver is easily the size of her ''forearm''.]]
* HateSink: [[spoiler: Immediately disliked by both Reiju and Luffy once she reveals who she really is. She loves making fun of Sanji's kindness, situation and faces, and the shocked reactions of the people she tricked. Everything she says and does, once she shows her true colors, makes her thoroughly unlikable. It's revealed that there are good reasons behind that, however]].
* HoneyTrap: [[spoiler:Was sent by Big Mom to attract and marry Sanji so she can lure his family into entering an alliance that was a complete farce to begin with, allowing Big Mom to murder all the Vinsmokes (and the Straw Hats), [[Series/GameOfThrones Red Wedding-style]]]].
* InelegantBlubbering: She cries her heart out, snot bubbles and all, when Sanji shares his woes with her. [[spoiler: Turns out she's a ''great'' actress and it was all a part of her ploy]].
** She does it again when Sanji calls her [[spoiler:ThirdEye]] "beautiful" during the wedding ceremony. [[spoiler: The flashbacks that come from this, showing her DarkAndTroubledPast, show that '''this''' time [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds she's crying]] [[CryCute for real]].]]
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler: She tells Reiju about how her power works while in the process of giving her LaserGuidedAmnesia and talks about "If you ever have a piece of your past you want to forget about...". [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Considering Pudding's own past]], [[TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes it seems she needs it herself badly.]] Tragically, Pudding may be ''unable'' to use her own power on herself, otherwise she probably would've done it already.]]
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She is deeply in love with Sanji, but is willing to let him go for the sake of his friends. [[spoiler: Pudding is intentionally playing this trope to make unknowing people trust her. She doesn't care about Sanji and plans to kill him off, along with the rest of his family and the Straw Hats]].
* {{Jerkass}}: [[spoiler: Her true colors are that of a cruel psychopath who enjoys mocking the victims of her excellent [[ConsummateLiar acting]] skills, and with the knowledge of her true nature, every "sweet" and "kind" thing she said and did while she was pretending to be good paints her as ''incredibly'' heinous.]]
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Twice, with a third indirect example: [[spoiler:She tells Luffy about the plan to kill Sanji, the Straw Hats, and the Vinsmoke family, since he's currently trapped in a book prison and can't share the information. She also tells Reiju about the plan, but edits her memories so she won't remember any of it. Lastly, she and Big Mom go over the plan once again, while a captured Brook was in earshot. All three times are justified in that there was no way the truth could have normally leaked out, but unfortunately for her, all three times end up biting her in the ass due to unforeseeable events. Jimbei ends up breaking Luffy out, making him that much more motivated to spoil the event, [[RightInFrontOfMe Sanji happened to be nearby]] when Pudding confessed to Reiju and overheard the entire plan, and immediately tells her the truth, and the rest of the Straw Hats managed to break Brook out by the skin of their teeth.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: There is no good reason to [[EvilGloating reveal her family's plans]] -- to kill Sanji and the rest of the Vinsmokes -- to Reiju and Luffy other than to see their pained expressions. She removes Reiju's memory of it, but Luffy is left to suffer with the knowledge because she thinks he's never getting out.]]
* KillerRabbit: [[spoiler: Despite seeming seemingly harmless, she was able to injure and capture the superhuman Reiju with ease]].
* KnifeNut: [[spoiler: After finally snapping from the abuse, she got her revenge on some bullies as a child by chasing them down and stabbing them with a knife, to their horror. She also clumsily brandishes a knife against the Straw Hats when she first meets them, although at that point, she was still putting on her NiceGirl act and was most likely merely pretending to not know how to handle a knife]].
* LackOfEmpathy:
** [[spoiler: She ''laughs'' at her own cruel deception of the Straw Hats and Vinsmokes, which says a lot about her personality considering this is coming ''after'' Sanji told her about his family woes (on top of her already knowing firsthand what hardships this marriage was putting him and his crew through).]]
** She also was on the receiving end, [[spoiler: from her family (starting with her mother) and other children, due to her ThirdEye.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: Pudding possesses the power of the Memo-Memo-Fruit, which allows her to alter and remove the memories of her victims.]]
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Like Mother, Unlike Daughter in her case. Pudding is a sweet-hearted, beautiful, normal-sized woman who is a chocolatier and a SupremeChef who greatly contrasts her mother, an insane BigEater and a huge {{Gonk}}. Nami and Brook [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] how Big Mom was able to birth such a kind person like Pudding. [[spoiler:The lampshade may have been foreshadowing. Physically they're different but her [[{{Sadist}} real personality]] shows she [[UsedtoBeASweetKid became]] her mother's daughter]].
* LoveAtFirstSight: Sanji's smooth attitude, similar love for cooking as hers, and charms immediately caused her to fall in love with him. [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Though as much as she'd like to marry him, she's unwilling to snatch him away from the Straw Hats]]. [[spoiler:Except the part where she doesn't love him at all]].
* MasterActor: [[spoiler: She can give the main antagonist of ''Anime/{{Kampfer}}'' a run for her money in this, and that character is so convincing, ''the audience'' suspects she has a split personality disorder of some sort.]]
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: She's the ''35th'' daughter of the Charlotte family. She's not even the youngest child, as she has four younger sisters and ''46'' brothers.
* MeaningfulName: As mentioned above, she's named after a dish that can be either sweet or savory. "Pudding" is also used as a term of endearment, usually between married couples (which is ironic since she and Sanji were in an ArrangedMarriage but don't want to get married due to conflict of interests).
* NeverBeHurtAgain: [[spoiler:The reason for her behavior: after being bullied one too many times as a child, she snapped and stabbed anyone who'd dare laugh at her for her ThirdEye.]]
* NiceGirl: Very much so. Unlike her cruel mother, Pudding is an absolute sweetheart. Nami notes she's "far too forgiving" upon meeting her, while Brook wonders if she's really Big Mom's daughter at all. [[spoiler:Except she ''isn't'' nice at all. She's actually one of Big Mom's favourite children, and sadistic enough to feign kindness to the Straw Hats and Sanji just to get them to drop their guard. It works, and she plans to slaughter all of them on her mother's orders. The bits of niceness she ''did'' have [[UsedToBeASweetKid as a child]] all but disappeared [[ThenLetMeBeEvil when she snapped]], and even after TheReveal of 862, it's not a sure thing they'll ever be back.]]
* NightmareFace: [[spoiler:For such a pretty girl, her third eye and creepily satisfied laugh as she reveals her true nature to Reiju makes for a ''very'' effective one.]]
* ParentalFavoritism: [[spoiler: She states that she's Big Mom's favorite and spoiled heavily. Though Big Mom seems to only do so because of her third eye and believing that once it opens that it'll lead her to Raftel and be her key to becoming the Pirate King. While Pudding enjoys the perks, she is annoyed by Big Mom constantly asking about if her third eye has awakened its power yet.]]
* PeekABangs: [[spoiler: In an unusual application of this trope, she uses her bangs to cover a ''third'' eye on her forehead. In fact, Big Mom expressly told her to grow her bangs out to hide it.]]
* PersonalityPowers: [[spoiler:While she's already a skillful liar, her power to modify memories just helps her true, duplicitous nature.]]
* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: Or it would be if Sanji wasn't so attached to the Straw-Hats. Sanji loves her (natch), she loves him, and she's even a great cook like Sanji, as Luffy and Chopper can attest. They'd really be just about perfect for one another. [[spoiler: If only she had not snapped from the shit she went through, and her nice personality wasn't all an act]].
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler: She has ruby-tinted red eyes, a narrative hint that she's not quite what she appears]].
* TheReveal:
** In chapter 850. [[spoiler: She reveals to Reiju (and Luffy and Nami via a Flashback) that she's been EvilAllAlong, was helping her mother manipulate the Straw Hats from the start, and that the alliance with the Vinsmokes is really just a ploy to get them all in one spot and murder them. She also reveals that she has a ThirdEye on her forehead.]]
** There is another in 862: [[spoiler: She was EvilAllAlong, yes, but she wasn't ''born'' evil and had a terrible past ''because'' of her ThirdEye.]]
* RevolversAreJustBetter: [[spoiler: Her WeaponOfChoice is a very large revolver with special "candy-jacketed bullets" that can even pierce through the hardened body of a SuperSoldier like Reiju. Befitting her royal status, it seems to be pretty advanced for the One Piece world as it appears to lack the usual flintlock mechanic.]]
* RoyalBrat: Subverted. While her family is rich, she herself [[spoiler: used to be sweet, but then snapped and became evil after the bullying over her third eye became too much]]. Also, though her mother dotes on her greatly, Pudding actually is tired of her mother's over-protection and spoiling of her and would rather [[NonIdleRich do things her own way]]. [[spoiler: Not to mention that her childhood wasn't pleasant at all.]]
* {{Sadist}}: [[spoiler: A ConsummateLiar, who [[LackOfEmpathy doesn't care about anyone]] and even gets sick of her mother pampering her, she successfully plays off the innocent NiceGirl and enjoys Luffy's reaction when she reveals the truth about herself. She also goes completely out of her way to shoot and then reveal herself to Reiju for no other reason than to torment her.]]
* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:Combined with her hidden ThirdEye, it makes one hell of a NightmareFace.]] Later, we see it again in a flashback, [[spoiler: but unlike the former example, [[DarkAndTroubledPast it's much]] [[TearJerker more heartbreaking]] [[FreudianExcuse to see]]]].
* SupremeChef: Also like Sanji. Her café was made from a homemade chocolate, and as [[BigEater Luffy]] and [[GeniusSweetTooth Chopper]] can testify, it was drop-dead delicious. [[spoiler:She's also an EvilChef.]]
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Her mom is a terrifyingly huge {{Gonk}}. She's of normal size and proportions, and extremely pretty [[spoiler:even with her supposedly freakish and ugly ThirdEye, as Sanji can attest.]].
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: [[spoiler: After being called a monster and bullied one too many times, a very young Pudding went CreepyChild and chased her bullies with a knife. This caried over into adulthood, which is why she became such a sadist.]]
* ThirdEye: [[spoiler: She has three eyes, the third of which is on her forehead. She hid this from the Straw Hats for most of the time using her hair. According to Big Mom, it should help her read the Poneglyphs' content without understanding the language, like how Roger used his mysterious ability of "hearing the voices of all things" to read Poneglyphs. Said third eye is also a great source of self-loathing for Pudding, as everyone around her called it a creepy, monstrous thing.]]
* TransferableMemory: [[spoiler:Thanks to her Devil Fruit, the ''Memo Memo no Mi'', she can alter people's memories by making them tangible in the form of a film reel, and edit or remove them as she pleases.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler: The flashback at 862 shows that Pudding used to be a normal little girl, save for her ThirdEye. Then, all the verbal and physical abuse coming from [[AbusiveParents Big Mom]], [[BigBrotherBully her older siblings]] and [[KidsAreCruel other kids]] piled up... and she snapped. Now she's one hell of a JerkAss and a willing accomplice in Big Mom's schemes.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Despite everything she's done, Sanji still calls her third eye "beautiful". Having spent her whole life being bullied by others (''[[AbusiveParents including Big Mom]]'') for her supposedly "freakish" appearance, Sanji's [[FreakyIsCool sincere admiration of her third eye]] causes her to have a sobbing meltdown on the spot, unable to shoot him]].
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: Everything about her is a lie. Her whole innocent image is crushed with a WhamShot revealing her third eye and sadistic nature. And then, later, even ''those'' perceptions are shaken as it's shown '''what''' exactly led her to become such a huge JerkAss (in the form of a TroubledBackstoryFlashback, which wouldn't happen if she was lying again), and that she's genuinely moved by Sanji's admiration of her third eye.]]
* WhamLine: She gets at least two:
-->'''Pudding''': [[spoiler: "Quit dreaming you fool! Me, marrying that little punk? '''Never in a billion years!'''"]]
-->'''Pudding''': [[spoiler: "What the Hell is that idiot saying?! Are you kidding me?! Never once, ever since the day I was born, not a single time... '''No one has ever called this eye "beautiful"...!'''"]]
* WhamShot:
** [[spoiler:During her EvilAllAlong moment, the panel zooms in on her creepy NightmareFace and her exposed ThirdEye, revealing herself as the then-unnamed three-eyed girl sitting with Big Mom in the Fishman Island arc. Combined with the aforementioned WhamLine above this trope, it makes the scene as creepy as it sounds.]]
** There's another in 862, [[spoiler:specifically about how ''all three of her eyes'' start tearing, and it shows her [[CryCute crying sincere tears]] after Sanji called her ThirdEye [[FreakinessShame beautiful]]. It's followed by a flashback of her DarkAndTroubledPast.]]
* WhyCantIHateYou: [[spoiler:After Sanji gives her ThirdEye its first compliment ever, Pudding collapses sobbing on her knees, desperately trying to convince herself to kill her groom-to-be just like she planned with Big Mom, but is left unable to due to her conflicted emotions. She then tries to compose herself and shoot Sanji directly, but her eyes are still tearing and Sanji keeps questioning about her motives]].
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]; Her brother Daifuku slaps her across the face for failing to kill Sanji and then attempts to get the job done himself]].

!!Charlotte Brulee
[[quoteright:269:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_1246.PNG]]
-->Voiced By: Yuko Mita

The 8th daughter of the Charlotte family and a powerful resident of the Seducing Woods. Consumption of the Mirror-Mirror Devil Fruit (''Mira Mira no Mi'') gave her power over mirrors, allowing Brulee to reflect attacks, travel places through mirrors, and create exact {{Doppelganger}}s of her enemies, complete with the same Devil Fruit powers if her target(s) is a Devil Fruit user. She appears in full in Chapter 832.
-----
* AnimeHair: Her hair sticks out in four different directions.
* BreakingSpeech: Gives one to Nami, saying how many so-called big name pirates (including Eustass Kid, Scratchmen Apoo, Capone Bege and Urouge) met a proverbial dead end when they crossed Big Mom's territory, that they're all terrified just like what Nami is experiencing currently, and proclaims that they'll never even know what Big Mom looks like.
* TheChewToy: Following [[spoiler:her defeat at the hands of Chopper and Carrot, she has been reduced to this. First, she's put in a bag worn by Chopper to exploit her powers, than she's given TickleTorture to tell how to find the others, then when she's giving a BreakingSpeech to the Sanji Retrieval Team that it's hopeless to escape, she gets a ShutUpHannibal snub, then finally, when she tries to alert Big Mom, she gets BoundAndGagged. Her HumiliationConga could rival Caesar Clown's, and just like him, all of it is PlayedForLaughs.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler: After an entire arc of being humiliated, abused and exploited by the Strawhat-Firetank Pirates Alliance, Brulee finally gets a moment of revenge by using her powers to block Caesar's escape.]]
* {{Doppelganger}}: She's able to create exact duplicates of whomever and whatever she wants. It's worth noting that she's the first Devil User powerful enough to be able to replicate ''Devil Fruit powers''.
* EvilLaugh: Her SignatureLaugh, "Wiwwiwwiwwi".
* EvilMakesYouUgly: Inverted. Whatever gave her that ugly facial scar turned her into a sadistic GreenEyedMonster who hates people with pretty faces.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Shares this with most of his siblings; she's named after the Crème brûlée.
* FearfulSymmetry: Brulee has the ability to disguise herself as people's reflections, and when Luffy tried attacking her (as his doppelganger), she automatically matched his every technique. It's rather notable as it's the first Devil Fruit power in the series that gives somebody the ability to mimic another Devil Fruit power perfectly. She can also act on her own and force the person she's copying to mirror her actions against their will. It's part of her Mirror-Mirror Fruit ability.
* GagNose: Has a long, dark nose that makes her look like an evil witch. It's one thing she inherited from Big Mom.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a nasty-looking gash running across her face, and she's loyal to her mother Big Mom.
* {{Gonk}}: She's rather ugly-looking, though whatever gave her her facial scarring added to her appearance and [[GreenEyedMonster made her envious of pretty people]].
* GreenEyedMonster: Hates people who have pretty faces. When she sees the pretty-faced [[MsFanservice Nami]] and [[BadassAdorable Carrot]], it made her want to slice them up.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Her mirror power allows her to turn other things into an exact replica of another person. [[spoiler:Chopper and Carrot trick her by faking to be captured and, using a frog that Brulee mistakenly made to look like Carrot, they manage to set up an ambush and take out Brulee and the rest of her group. And while they're at it, Carrot drenches Brulee in the same hot soup that she planned to drop fake Carrot into.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:You try to drop a rabbit mink into a boiling soup, and you are the one who's gonna get scalded instead, as Brulee found out the hard way.]]
* LeanAndMean: She's a nasty, stick-looking woman who hates beautiful people and threatens to hurt Carrot ''for being more adorable than her''. Luffy mistook her for a tree branch when he saw her standing on a tree.
* MagicMirror: Her Devil Fruit, the Mirror Mirror Fruit (''Mira Mira no Mi''), allows her to create those. Applications include the standard AttackReflector, FearfulSymmetry and MirrorUniverse CrystalPrison. She can also use mirrors to teleport to one place to another, as long as those places have mirrors, and she can simply create one to do so.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: The 8th daughter out of Big Mom's ''39 daughters'', making her one of the older ones. And let's not get into her ''45 brothers''.
* MeaningfulName: She's named after the "creme brulee", a dessert which has a caramelized surface from being scorched with a butane torch or the flambeing technique. Brulee has a disfiguring facial scar on her face, and has an envious hatred of beautiful people.
* PocketDimension: Has what she calls the "Mirror World" - she's able to trap people in it, like what she did to Chopper and Carrot.
* ShoutOut:
** Her appearance and introduction is based on a Japanese urban legend of a malicious spirit called Kuchisake-onna (slith-mouthed woman), who asks hapless women to comment on her GlasgowGrin and depending on the answer, she will either slice their mouth (if they say she looks beautiful) or kill them (if they say she looks awful). The only way of escape is to stall her by answering 'not sure' and running away.
** She's also meant to be this for the Evil Queen from ''Disney/SnowWhite'', as they share {{Gonk}} appearances and envy of attractive people, and mirror themes.
** Also, when she was trying to cook Carrot, she was in a biscuit house, like Hansel and Gretel's witch.
* SquishyWizard: Her devil fruit is very versatile, but she's taken down easily first by Nami, and then by Chopper and Carrot. Bonus point for resembling a witch.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Barring the scar, she pretty much looks like a thin version of Big Mom.
* TickleTorture: Subjected to this by Carrot in chapter 851.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Seriously thought Luffy and Nami would fall like the previous guys who tried to fight the Charlotte Family[=/=]Big Mom Pirates. [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome She's later proven wrong]].
** Ditto with Chopper and Carrot later.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Katakuri threatens her for helping the Straw Hats after finally freeing her from them. Brulee begs for mercy from her brother and tries to explain that she was acting against her will.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: According to a SBS, Big Mom gave birth to her first child 42 years ago, meaning that Brulee is at ''most'' only 42 and very likely only in her ''30s''.

[[folder: Allies & Affiliates]]
!!Sun Pirates
Jimbei's pirate crew, formed of Fishmen and Mermen. It is allied with Big Mom's crew as a result of marriage between first mate Aladine and one of Big Mom's daughters.

->See their entry on the [[Characters/OnePieceTheSevenWarlordsOfTheSeaCrews Seven Warlords of the Sea Crews]] page.

!!Firetank Pirates
Capone "Gang" Bege's pirate crew, resembling a mafia family in both appearance and organization. The crew appears to be extremely loyal to their captain, and base their power around Bege's Devil Fruit abilities to lethal effect. At some point during the time skip, they fell under the command of Big Mom. Notable members include [[TheDragon Vito]] and [[TheBrute Gotti]].

For more info on Bege himself, see his entry on the [[Characters/OnePieceTheElevenSupernovas Eleven Supernovas]] page.
----

* AffablyEvil: Vito comes off as this, eagerly showing his respect and interest towards Sanji and acting rather polite, even when he's not being treated with the same respect.
* ArmCannon: Similar to Scotch[[note]]Not the yeti, but Kaido's subordinate[[/note]], Gotti has a massive gattling gun fused to his right arm. In ch. 865, it's switched to one of Caesar's poison-filled rockets.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Most of the Firetank Pirates members wear a simple business suit, with a BadassCape draped over it.
* BerserkButton: Gotti doesn't like it if his fellow member got insulted, such that he threatened to kill Sanji for it. Luckily he's reminded that Sanji shouldn't be harmed or else his boss will get punished.
* CombatPragmatist: Their usual strategy seems to be waiting for their enemies to get too close to their captain, and then rushing out all at once to surprise and surround them.
* TheConsigliere: Vito acts as this, as the adviser in a mafia-based crew.
* FanBoy: Vito is one for [[ShowWithinAShow a comic strip in World Economic Times newspaper]] about a young boy who fights an evil organization. Specifically, he's the fan for that evil organization, Germa 66 - whose leader is Sanji's father. He's so much of a fanboy that [[spoiler:when he saw Bobbin running after Sanji, he shot the former down, citing Sanji being part of the Germa for his reasoning.]]
* HandCannon: Vito wields [[GunsAkimbo two massive black revolvers]], the reason behind his epithet "Monster Gun". He's got equally big hands to match.
* IDontPayYouToThink: When they first appear in the Sabody Archipelago arc, Bege, disgusted by Jewelry Bonney's eating, wants to kill her. One of his men warns that wouldn't be a good idea as they're close to Marine Headquarters. In response, Bege ruthlessly [[EyeScream stabs the man in the eye with his fork]].
* LeanAndMean: Downplayed. Vito's tall and lean, and is part of an antagonist pirate crew, but he's quite polite.
* LennonShades: Vito's got a cool pair of round shades.
* TheMafia: The entire theme of the crew.
* ManiacTongue: Vito's got an OverlyLongTongue that he always tucks out and he's a pirate crewmember. Downplayed in that he's actually pretty nice.
* ProfessionalKiller: Gotti is introduced as the Firetank Pirates' "killer", indicating he may be their go-to for... [[DeadlyEuphemism taking care of problems]].
* SignatureLaugh: Vito's "Nyorororo".
* TattooedCrook: Vito's got some particular tattoos on his forehead and the back of both hands.
* VerbalTic: Vito often ends his speeches with "rero". Lampshaded by Luffy when the two first met.

!!Germa 66
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vinsmoke_family.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:The Vinsmoke family]]
('''Warning: MAJOR unmarked spoilers about a certain Straw Hat pirate's family follow. Continue at your own discretion''').

Also known as the Warmongers, they are a paramilitary army of the Kingdom of Germa, led by the Vinsmoke family, with the patriarch and the land's king Vinsmoke Judge at its head. They're usually known as a mythical evil army, in no small part due to the propaganda comic strip ''Sora, Warrior of the Sea'' demonizing them, but they are very real, and possess advanced enough technology for Big Mom to want to recruit them. Other prominent members so far include the Vinsmoke children - Vinsmokes Ichiji, Niji and Yonji are Sanji's two older and one younger fraternal quadruplet brothers, respectively, while Vinsmoke Reiju is Sanji's older sister (and the eldest child of the family).

For information on the Vinsmoke Family royalty (Judge, Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji), go to [[Characters/OnePieceOthers Others]]. For Sora (the matriarch), go to [[Characters/OnePieceHistoricalFiguresAndFlashbackCharacters Historical Figures And Flashback Characters]]. For Sanji himself, go [[Characters/OnePieceStrawHatPiratesEastBlue here]].
----

* AbusiveParents: Like Big Mom, Judge sure as hell isn't winning any "Parent of the Year" awards. To wit -
** Sanji was his primary target because he was the only one of his children who became a "dud"; he was kindhearted like his dead mother and he wasn't much stronger than a normal kid. Judge deemed him a failure forever in his eyes and let his brothers viciously bully him throughout most of his childhood for being so weak, even telling Sanji ''to his face'' that he has no reason to help him or raise him, since he's a disgrace to his family name. He even forced Sanji to wear an iron mask and left him in the dungeons to rot while passing off Sanji's absence as "[[DeathFakedForYou died in a training accident]]" in order for the family to start over with a clean slate ([[PetTheDog however he couldn't bring himself to let his son die so he secretly sent him meals]]). His response for being chewed out by Sanji after they saw each other for the first time in years was to "take it outside" and fight him. The events of the Totto Land arc started because Judge dragged Sanji, against his will, and blackmailed him into marrying one of Big Mom's daughters Charlotte Pudding in order to seal an alliance with the Big Mom Pirates, because to him the weak, discardable son was a much better choice than his other "precious" children. And while he did let Sanji run away from home when he was eight, the only condition he gave him was he never reveal his royal parentage to anyone.
** Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji weren't safe, either. While they were still in utero, [[spoiler:Judge performed gene modifications on them and programmed the quadruplet brothers to have an utter LackOfEmpathy]], because Judge believed VirtueIsWeakness and wanted remorseless killers that would help lead Germa 66 to greatness. The quadruplets' dead mother completely disapproved of this and [[spoiler:took a dangerous, gene modification-reversing drug that eventually killed her in hopes of saving them from becoming their father's weapons; only Sanji was saved, but his brothers weren't so lucky]]. Judge enabling his sons' ''incredibly'' bad behaviors while they were children only made it worse, turning them into irredeemable monsters as adults.
** Reiju also [[spoiler:went through the same body and mind alterations when she was a baby]], but was left with enough emotional capacity to know the moral ethics of her and her family's terrible, terrible actions. Because her brother Sanji was constantly and mercilessly abused for showing compassion, Reiju feared being treated the same and became a StepfordSmiler so her family wouldn't see her true colors. She hates Judge [[spoiler:but because she was modified by him at birth, she can't fully resist his orders, either, so she can only undermine him in secret]]. It got to the point where Reiju developed an ''incredible'' self-loathing and a wish to die so the world wouldn't be blighted by the presence of a "war machine".
* AlwaysVSexy: Save for the brutish-looking Judge who averts the trope, his children (Sanji, Reiju, Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji) and his kindhearted deceased wife (Sora) have 'V's in their names and are extremely drop-dead gorgeous.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Exaggerated to horrific extremes with Yonji. While he's technically younger due to being a quadruplet who was born after Sanji, he also participated in Ichiji and Niji's childhood bullying of Sanji without an inch of remorse. [[spoiler:It's later justified in Chapter 852 - because his humanity was surgically removed by Judge while in utero, Yonji is literally unable to feel or understand empathy. Combined with Judge teaching him and his brothers not named "Sanji" (who all received the same modifications) that MightMakesRight and VirtueIsWeakness, he sees Sanji being born a "dud" as good cause to torment him.]]
* AristocratsAreEvil: "Royalty Is Evil" in this case, despite the Vinsmokes being a BadassFamily. To wit -
** Judge, the Vinsmoke patriarch, is an utter BloodKnight who believes that MightMakesRight and VirtueIsWeakness, and a completely BadBoss who won't hesitate to use his clone army as disposable {{Human Shield}}s. [[spoiler:And in order to ensure his children shared his views, he modified them in both body and mind while they were in utero]].
** Judge's sons Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji also count. Because of his bad influence [[spoiler:and because he modified them by removing their humanity while in utero]] they grew up to be completely cruel and selfish assholes who look down on "weak" people, including their brother Sanji, whom they constantly and viciously bullied as kids without a shred of remorse. Anyone unlucky enough to serve under them are subjected to criticism and abuse, as the family cook Cosette can attest to.
** Subverted with Reiju. She takes after her kindhearted mother, but because her brother Sanji was mercilessly abused for showing compassion, she feared for her own life and pretended to act snobbish so her family wouldn't suspect a thing. She did try to entice Sanji back into the family by bringing up the perks of being royalty, but she probably didn't mean it. [[spoiler:And because of psychological modifications Judge performed on her, Reiju couldn't fully resist his orders no matter how hard she tried, and hates herself for it.]]
** The deceased Vinsmoke matriarch, Sora, completely averts this by being very loving to her children and subjects, as well as a MamaBear who strongly disapproved of her husband's plans to remove her children's empathy and took a dangerous gene surgery-reversing drug that took her life in hopes of saving them from becoming their father's weapons. Out of her four sons, however, only Sanji was successful.
** Obviously averted with Sanji, who is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who will always cook for someone the moment he sees them starving, will always help those in need ([[ChivalrousPervert especially if there's a pretty lady nearby]]), and is incredibly loyal to his Straw Hat friends.
* ArmchairMilitary: [[AvertedTrope Nope]]. Not only do they command their armies, but they directly participate in their battles as well.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Germa 66 is so militaristic and technologically advanced that the Vinsmoke family was able to conquer and rule the ''entire'' North Blue region. Even though they're not rulers of North Blue anymore (they're trying to fix that), they still possess enough fighting skill and military might to maintain their global affluence.
* BadassBaritone: The Vinsmoke quadruplets all have deep voices, but Niji's voice is the deepest of them all.
* BadassCape: Except for Sanji ([[BadassInANiceSuit who's already badass without one]]), all of them wear capes. For the reasons why they're badass, see below.
* BadassFamily: From characters' [[TheDreaded reactions to them]] and the feats they performed so far, the entire Vinsmoke Family certainly counts.
** "Black Leg" Vinsmoke Sanji is a member of the [[LightningBruiser Monster Trio]], [[BattleAura a Haki]] [[KiManipulation user]], and [[GuileHero an excellent]] [[TheChessmaster strategist]].
** "Winch Green" Vinsmoke Yonji openly challenged the [[FamedInStory Straw Hat Pirates]] to a fight, knowing that they are among the most [[TheDreaded infamous]] pirates in the entire world. He also comes back from being kicked sky-high by his older sister completely unharmed (albeit completely soaked with sea water), and manages to survive an offscreen CurbStompBattle with Sanji (albeit with a disfigured face).
** "Poison Pink" Vinsmoke Reiju managed to consume a poison virulent enough to nearly kill ''Luffy'' (who is otherwise [[AcquiredPoisonImmunity resistant to poison]]) without a single trace of damage.
** "Electric Blue" Vinsmoke Niji and "Sparking Red" Vinsmoke Ichiji, the two eldest sons of their family, ended a two-year civil war in just ''[[CurbstompBattle four hours]]''.
** Vinsmoke Judge, the family patriarch, took over the North Blue region with only his army and his fighting skills.
* BadassPrincess: Reiju, being part of the royal family, counts as a princess, and she's about as badass as her brothers. Like her brothers, she's also [[TykeBomb specifically raised and engineered]] by Judge so they would become commanders of their army.
* BadBoss: Being a BadassFamily came at the price of [[LackOfEmpathy lacking empathy]] for their soldiers and subjects, apparently. Judge looks down on "commoners" and thinks helping others is beneath the dignity of royalty [[spoiler:and psychologically modified his children (especially his sons Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji) to think the same]]. All Germa 66 soldiers are thoroughly conditioned to be utterly loyal to the Vinsmoke family, to the point where being used as a HumanShield is seen as an "enviable honor." The Vinsmoke family (save for Sanji and maybe Reiju) don't really care about the well-being of their armies, and apparently they never heard of the saying, "Armies march on their stomachs," either. They're also not above brutalizing their servants for infractions or making examples out of them, as shown with the poor cook Cosette.
* BarbaricBully: Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji's treatment of their brother Sanji when they were kids was absolutely ''horrendous''.
* BigBrotherBully:
** Played straight with Ichiji and Niji, who are the oldest of the Vinsmoke quadruplets. Their childhood treatment of Sanji was incredibly ''horrific''; Niji in particular took great delight in tormenting Sanji, laughing at his pain to the point of ''crying''. [[spoiler:It's later justified in Chapter 852 - because their humanity was surgically removed by Judge while in utero, Ichiji and Niji are literally unable to feel or understand empathy. Combined with Judge teaching them that MightMakesRight and VirtueIsWeakness, they see Sanji being born a "dud" as good cause to torment him.]]
** Subverted with Reiju, who despite being the eldest child, is so utterly terrified of being mistreated by her family not named "[[WhiteSheep Sanji]]" or "[[MissingMom Sora]]", that she put on a JerkassFacade and [[BystanderSyndrome didn't help Sanji whenever they were around]].
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: The Vinsmoke kids manage to pull this in chapter 869, all of them putting on their raid suits and doing somewhat of a SuperSentaiStance before saving the Straw Hats from the Charlotte Family]].
* BigScrewedUpFamily: The entire family is this once more of their past is revealed. Judge is a BloodKnight who fervently believes in MightMakesRight and VirtueIsWeakness, and even [[spoiler:experimented on his children so they'll adopt his values]]. This resulted in his children [[spoiler:losing their mother, Sora, who pulled a MamaBear and secretly ingested a dangerous gene modification-reversing drug to save her then-unborn quadruplet sons when Judge removed their humanity against her wishes]]. This also resulted in 1) Sanji alone [[spoiler:being saved and her health worsening until her death]], 2) Reiju becoming both a StepfordSmiler and DeathSeeker who [[spoiler:is secretly terrified of her family members not named "Sanji" or "Sora" yet hates herself for supporting them]], 3) Ichiji, Yonji, and Niji becoming monstrous RoyalBrats due to their inability to feel empathy and Judge's bad influence on them, and 4) Sanji being horrifically abused for being a weak and compassionate "dud" until he ran away while still 8-years-old. The Vinsmoke family turning out the way it did can be all traced to Judge and his violent ambitions.
* {{Bishonen}}: Sanji, Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji to varying degrees, though their brutish-looking father Judge averts it.
* BlueBlood: All members of the Vinsmoke family are this, even though they don't have an official territory to rule over anymore [[note]]Well, there is the Germa Kingdom, but it's actually pieces of land supported by interlocking ships.[[/note]]. Sanji also counts despite disowning his family at a young age.
* BrightIsNotGood: As seen on their folder image, the Vinsmokes (save for [[SharpDressedMan Sanji]] and [[MissingMom Sora]]) all wear brightly-colored raid suits that pertain to their [[RedBaron epithets]] - Reiju's is [[PinkIsFeminine pink]], Ichiji's is red, Niji's is blue, Yonji's is green, and Judge's is a golden orange. That being said, save for [[TokenGoodTeammate Reiju]], none of the Vinsmokes are nice people.
* BulletproofHumanShield: It's possible for any Germa 66 soldier to become this, either by command or by their own willingness. Judge even calls this trope an "enviable honor". And as seen in the war on Broccoli Island, their body can apparently completely block bullets, without harming their boss.
* CainAndAbel:
** Played straight with Sanji's older and younger fraternal quadruplet brothers, who are the Cain to his Abel. [[spoiler:Because Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji had their empathy removed by Judge while in utero and were taught that MightMakesRight and VirtueIsWeakness]], they viciously bullied Sanji for being "weak" and compassionate, to the point of making Sanji run away from home at the age of eight just to escape their abuse. Out of Sanji's brothers, however, Niji is the most outspoken in expressing his hatred of Sanji, to the point of ''trying to kick him'' during a family dinner dispute. On Sanji's end, he hates all of his brothers' guts, and even disfigured Yonji's face offscreen when they met each other again. Niji's mistreatment and spiteful attacking of Cosette [[HateSink further lowers himself in Sanji's eyes]].]]
** Averted with Reiju. She greatly cares for Sanji, but [[BystanderSyndrome avoided helping Sanji while he was being bullied by their brothers]] because she feared for her own life if she ever decided to show "weakness" in front of her family - that is, anyone who's not "Sanji" or "Sora". She was responsible for secretly dressing up Sanji's wounds during downtime, freeing Sanji from the dungeons after Judge left him there to rot, and helping Sanji run away to East Blue, all while telling him to find people who will give him the proper love and attention he needs.
* CloneArmy: The Germa 66 foot-soldiers are revealed to be this, as Yonji shows Sanji the [[MookMaker secret underground cloning lab]] full of PeopleJars containing types of soldiers. They apparently know of this lab ever since they were kids, but haven't been able to enter it until now. They're apparently cloned from some select few strong individuals, they're programmed to be fearless and utterly loyal, and they can grow up to full maturity in just 5 years. Also none of the clones aware that they're clones.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: The Vinsmoke Family members (except Sanji of course) wear something called "raid suits" in combat. The mooks note that Sanji is badass enough to fight without it.
* TheCoup: Apparently several years ago, the Vinsmoke family took over the North Blue region, killing its previous leaders, and ruled over it with its military might. This is what made the Vinsmoke family and by extension their Germa 66 armies so infamous. It's currently unknown how and why they stopped ruling the North Blue, but Judge, the Vinsmoke patriarch, wants to rule it again, implying they were eventually overthrown.
* CynicismCatalyst: Implied. Judge Vinsmoke states that Sanji takes after his long dead mother, Sora, and that while she was alive, the Vinsmoke "legacy" fit with her values.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Sanji is the only child in the family who chooses to be a pirate and a chef instead of living as a prince and taking part in his family's activities, though it's played with since technically, being a pirate is more decadent.
* TheDon: Judge, the patriarch of the Vinsmoke family.
* DramaticIrony:
** They planned on [[spoiler:kidnapping Pudding to keep a trump card against Big Mom should things ever go down the crapper]]. Little did they know, [[spoiler:Pudding herself pulled the exact same card on them before they even realized it by capturing Reiju]].
** They're also unaware of how strong Sanji has gotten since the last time they saw him, especially since now he can fly without needing technology, and how Sanji is unwilling to put up with their abusive crap anymore. Yonji must have severely underestimated Sanji to have received a disfiguring kick to the face.
** Save for Sanji and Reiju, all of the Vinsmokes are completely unaware that the wedding they dragged and blackmailed Sanji into going through was a complete farce to begin with. Although Judge suspects Big Mom of being untrustworthy, even he didn't know how far it went; Big Mom [[spoiler:and Pudding actually had no intention of marrying anyone and plan to kill them all so they can steal the Vinsmokes' cloning technologies for themselves]]. When Judge finally learns the truth, he has an epic VillainousBreakdown and ''cries''.]]
** Reiju believes that Sanji's loyalties to [[ParentalSubstitute Zeff]] made him come back to Germa when she knows Sanji's childhood there was anything but pleasant. She's unaware that Capone Bege, under orders from Judge, dragged Sanji back home against his will.
** For having made his children into super powerful, emotionless killing machines, Judge himself is revealed to be very emotional and terrified of death, suffering an absolutely horrifying {[[AssholeVictim yet satisfying to watch]]) mental breakdown when he realizes [[spoiler:how much his life is in jeopardy at the wedding]]. For bonus points, the ones who drive him into this breakdown is his own kids, who [[spoiler:jeer him for reacting so emotionally to Big Mom's backstab while they FaceDeathWithDignity, he even pleads with them to show a bit more emotion, having become so distraught he's forgetten they literally can't because of him.]]
* TheDreaded: Apparently the Vinsmoke family conquered the entire North Blue and ruled it with an iron fist, causing Germa 66 to gain international notoriety as a "mythical evil army". Their infamous reputation is so widespread that even Robin and Brook of the Straw Hats know about them (with Brook [[OhCrap trembling in fear]]), and the Fire Tank pirates refuse to even lay a finger on Sanji after capturing him, knowing that the rest of his family members would off their leader Capone if any harm befell their third son.
* EmotionSuppression: The reason why Ichiji, Niji and Yonji have a LackOfEmpathy. [[spoiler:Feelings like compassion and empathy were surgically removed from Judge's sons when he manipulated their Lineage Factor while they were inside their mother's womb]]. The only one who was unaffected by this was [[spoiler:Sanji, whose mother sacrificed her life to counter the modifications by taking a special drug]]. Reiju feels compassion, but hides it behind her smiles.
* EmperorScientist: Judge apparently started as a scientist, and acquainted with Vegapunk to boot. Along with his old group, he discovered the small secrets of human bodies, and nowadays he's ruling a "country" of cloned troops and other scientific wonders.
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: In Ch. 869, they decide to escape with Sanji towards Bege's castle in order to avoid Big Mom Pirates.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: In Chapter 847, when Big Mom shows her library collection of rare creatures who are trapped inside her books, the Vinsmoke children were shown to be visibly disturbed by her collections (though it's a bit of a misnomer to call Reiju "evil"). Niji was even shocked that Big Mom would also trap humans in her collections. [[spoiler:Justified; the drug their dead mother, Sora, took to reverse Judge's gene modifications on her sons, while only successfully worked on Sanji, also preserved what little humanity his quadruplet brothers had left.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood:
** Judge sees helping commoners as beneath royalty, and doesn't understand why treating his completely loyal clone army like crap and using them as human shields would be a bad thing. Justified; he is a BloodKnight who believes in MightMakesRight and VirtueIsWeakness in order for a warrior to succeed in fighting wars.
** His sons Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji aren't much better; Niji in particular did not understand (or care) that refusing to eat food that someone cooked for him is an insult by itself, and when Sanji scolds him for it, he basically throws a huge tantrum and attacks Cosette into unconsciousness just to spite Sanji. [[spoiler:It's later justified in Chapter 852; the reason why they're monstrous assholes is because when Judge genetically modified them, he removed his sons' ability to feel compassion so they'll grow up into powerful yet utterly remorseless {{Tykebomb}}s. Their quadruplet brother Sanji was originally intended to be like them, too, but their mother, Sora, intervened by taking a dangerous gene-alteration-reversing drug that succeeded in turning Sanji back to normal, at the cost of her own life.]]
** Subverted with Reiju, who does feel empathy and knows what it is, but she can't show it openly in front of her family because she fears for her life. Despite that, even she doesn't understand why Sanji is so loyal to Zeff that threats to him would make him return to a place he so utterly loathes [[spoiler:especially when, when they were both young, she freed Sanji from starving to death in the dungeons and helped him run away from their abusive household, telling him to find people who will love him for who he is and never come back home again]].
* EvilCounterpart: To the Nefeltari family of the Alabasta kingdom. Both are royalty, but the Nefeltari family lives in the desert, while the Vinsmokes live in an ocean-based kingdom that is made up entirely of ships. The Nefeltari family is a small, yet loving family with one child (Vivi), while the Vinsmokes is larger with four fraternal quadruplet sons and one daughter, but they are utterly abusive, cruel, and disdainful towards anyone they see as "weak" (as Sanji can attest to). The Vinsmokes also treat their subjects and military like crap, using their own soldiers as human shields despite their UndyingLoyalty and believing in MightMakesRight, unlike the Nefeltari family who all genuinely love their subjects. [[spoiler:And unlike Vivi's parents, who love their daughter unconditionally, Judge experimented on and even outright psychologically altered all his children so they can help him reconquer North Blue, and was indirectly responsible for causing the death of his kindhearted wife.]]
* EvilIsCool: InUniverse; Vito of the Firetank Pirates admires them for this exact reason. One of Big Mom's subordinates idolizes them as well, especially Ichiji and Reiju.
* EvilTwin: Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are Sanji's evil ''fraternal quadruplet'' brothers, who abused and bullied him for being weak and compassionate when they were children. As a result of their bad history, Sanji hates all of their guts. [[spoiler:It's later justified in Chapter 852; Ichiji, Yonji, and Niji had their ability to feel compassion completely removed by Judge because he saw it as a weakness, all before they were even born. Their mother, Sora, took a drug that reversed gene-altering surgeries in hopes of preserving their humanity and protecting them from their father, but it only successfully worked on Sanji. His brothers weren't so lucky - they have only a tiny shred of humanity left.]]
* EvilVersusEvil: [[spoiler: It turns out the Charlotte Family is actually planning to murder all of them, so this is what will inevitably happen when they find out]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Deconstructed. The boys calmly accept that [[spoiler:they were beaten and wait for Big Mom's men to fill them with "candy-sized holes"]]; Reiju already knew about the plot thanks to Sanji and can't make a move, but she accepts it also, thinking it's what she and her family deserves. Judge, on the other hand, is disturbed at his children's behavior as if he forgot he [[spoiler:removed their emotions in the first place]] and actually ''bursts into tears'' upon realizing [[spoiler:there's NoHonorAmongThieves]]. It's deconstructed because there are horrific reasons behind their reactions [[spoiler:(namely, EmotionSuppression)]] and it's portrayed as a bad thing to do.
* FamedInStory: Due to the comic strip, Germa 66 is infamous worldwide as a "mythical evil army." Also, due to their dealings in the Underworld, a good number of people know the Vinsmoke Family, whose name is synonymous with evil.
* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: The Vinsmokes are a royal family of assassins and super-soldiers [[spoiler:most of whom were psychologically and physically altered to the point of having utter LackOfEmpathy]].
* FamilyThemeNaming:
** The Vinsmoke children seems to be named after Japanese numbers. The "rei" in Reiju's name can mean "zero" in Japanese, the "yon" in Yonji's name is Japanese for four, and even Sanji's name incorporates "san" ("Three"). The father doesn't share this trait, and is instead named Judge.
** On that note, all the male Vinsmokes have names ending with the masculine "-ji", including Judge (''Jajji'' in Japanese). Only Reiju, as the only female Vinsmoke child, has a different one, the feminine "-ju".
** They also seem to have a color-theme to their epithets, which includes "Winch Green" Vinsmoke Yonji, "Poison Pink" Vinsmoke Reiju, "Electric Blue" Vinsmoke Niji, "Sparking Red" Vinsmoke Ichiji, and "Black Leg" Vinsmoke Sanji. However, Sanji's is apparently the only one written in kanji rather than katakana, which causes it to stick out from the rest. This is because "Black Leg" is Sanji's pirate epithet rather than a {{Sentai}}-style Germa 66 {{codename}}. It just coincidentally fits the family theme.
** The Vinsmoke children's deceased mother, Sora, averts the trope.
* FieryRedhead: Subverted with Ichiji, who's calm and apathetic to a fault. It's his blue-haired brother, Niji, who has the explosive temper.
* FiveBadBand: There are indeed five of them in the Germa Kingdom, and they fit here pretty well, with some variation:
** BigBad[=/=]TheEvilGenius: Judge, the king of the Germa Kingdom and patriarch of the Vinsmoke family, and a MadScientist who once conducted research together with Vegapunk.
** TheDragon: Ichiji, the oldest son, who seems to have the most authority out of Judge's sons, and appears to be the leader of the three of them.
** {{The Brute}}s: Niji and Yonji, who more-or-less seem to be DumbMuscle.
** TheDarkChick: Reiju, the only female family member, who is also a subversion as she is ([[StepfordSmiler secretly]]) the TokenGoodTeammate among them, being the only Vinsmoke (besides Sanji) capable of compassion or empathy.
* {{Flight}}:
** All of the Vinsmokes, save for the deceased mother, are shown to be capable of this, wearing Germa's special high-tech boots that allow them to fly and hover in the air without using a Devil Fruit.
** Also Sanji, of course, has the ability to do this with his Sky Walk technique. However, unlike the rest of his family, he doesn't require technology to perform this feat, instead gaining it through a two-year TrainingFromHell.
* FreudianExcuse: Vinsmoke quadruplets Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are utterly monstrous RoyalBrats because Judge [[spoiler:surgically removed their empathy in utero]], thinking it would make them good {{Tykebomb}}s. Not only did this leave them literally unable to feel or understand things like kindness and compassion, Judge's bad influence on them just worsened their incredibly bad behaviors. Their mother [[spoiler:tried pulling a MamaBear by secretly consuming a Lineage Factor experiment-reversing drug to save her sons from becoming their father's weapons]], but for some reason [[spoiler:her plan only worked on their brother, Sanji, who was born a "dud".]]
* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: As shown in a flashback, according to Judge, all of his children are the result of heavy genetic engineering and has virtually limitless potential. [[spoiler:They were also programmed to have utter LackOfEmpathy because Judge saw it as a removable weakness, hence why Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are monstrous assholes. Only Sanji (whose enhancements were rendered null thanks to the drug his mother took to save him) and Reiju still have their mother's compassion.]]
* HadToBeSharp: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. As a result of Judge's machinations, the rest of the Germa are physical and technological powerhouses that can hold their own against top combat commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, and it seems that they are accustomed to sacrificing their expendable clone army rather than tank or dodge attacks themselves.
** In contrast, although Sanji did not receive the genetic enhancements his siblings did and ran away from the benefits of a royal lifestyle, Judge is shocked to discover that the "failure" can wield Haki.
* HateSink: Aside from [[WhiteSheep Sanji]], [[AntiVillain Reiju]] and their [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest mother]], the Vinsmokes are all [[{{Jerkass}} complete assholes]] with no redeeming qualities who go out of their way to KickTheDog at every opportunity. It's even acknowledged by Sanji in-universe when he discovers Niji attacked the maid Cosette into unconsciousness, making his brother lower than "scum" in his eyes. [[spoiler:It's later revealed in Chapter 852 that Sanji's brothers have a ''VERY'' good reason for their monstrous behavior, which is all thanks to their father.]]
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Subverted. Headphones are actually standard equipment in the Germa 66 armies, and [[SunglassesAtNight can be even worn off-duty]]. Yonji, Niji, and Reiju debut wearing them.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: It's a bit of a misnomer to call them "heroes", but the eldest Vinsmoke sons Ichiji and Niji stopped a 2-year long war at Broccoli Island and got hailed as heroes - just like what the Straw Hats did in previous arcs. This is despite Germa 66's reputation as a "mythical evil army", a fact that the island's survivors [[LampshadeHanging acknowledge]].
* HiredGuns: Due to the Vinsmokes being Underworld assassins, it's possible for either one or all of them to be hired to carry out some DirtyBusiness for a substantial fee, as seen in chapter 828 when Ichiji and Niji were hired to stop a civil war in Broccoli Island.
* {{Homage}}: To [[Series/KamenRider SHOCKER.]] Compare the '76 villain's [[http://img.tarad.com/shop/g/gustoys/img-lib/spd_20131101155816_b.jpg logo]] and the [[http://67.media.tumblr.com/7de2227501071d17a341b2c1694e001e/tumblr_inline_odkg58yGyn1sg3o5d_540.png imposing board meeting of evil.]]
** To ''Literature/TheManInTheIronMask'': What happens to little Sanji when his father realizes he'll never be as good as his siblings.
* IHaveNoSon: Inverted and played straight at the same time.
** Sanji has disowned and estranged himself from his family since he was a child due to their horrible treatment of him; their Underworld activities and the fact that all of his siblings and relatives are assassins didn't help either. When he meets up with them again for the first time in years, he wants absolutely nothing to do with them.
** Played straight with Judge. While he will acknowledge his blood runs in Sanji's vein, he considers Sanji nothing more than a means to an end, and no son of his. He goes so far as to publicly declare Sanji dead and imprison him in secret with his head locked in an iron mask when it's determined he's an ordinary human (compared to his siblings) and won't stop his bad habits of cooking and helping lower beings ("Royalty does not serve!"). Sanji is still a child at this point. Later, when Sanji escapes, he lets him go on the condition he never reveals who his family is.
** A sibling example; Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji hate Sanji for being weaker than them and don't see him as their "true" brother, but Niji with his [[HotBlooded explosive temper]] is the most outspoken about it, refusing to see Sanji as family unless he shape himself up to their family's standards, and even tries to attack him during dinner over being scolded and insulted.
* {{Irony}}: For all of their touting that VirtueIsWeakness, [[spoiler:Sanji's compassion and reluctance to abandon his family is what will save them from being utterly annihilated by Big Mom.]]
* JerkassFacade: Reiju, on the outside, acts cold and snooty towards everyone beneath her station, and appears supportive of her family's atrocious behavior and actions. She even put exploding slave bracelets on Sanji's wrists, to coerce him into to marry Charlotte Pudding and seal Judge's alliance with Big Mom, lest he lose his hands and his ability to cook (if he survived at all). But it's later revealed to be just a mask that she puts up because of the utter fear of being abused by her family like Sanji was, and underneath said mask she is just as kind and compassionate, traits that she shares with both Sanji and their dead mother, Sora. She even dressed up Sanji's wounds in secret every time he was left black and blue by either his brothers, or the family's version of TrainingFromHell. She eventually [[BigSisterInstinct helped Sanji run away from Germa after he was left to rot in the dungeons by Judge, telling him to find people who love him and never come back, all while shedding tears for him unseen.]] She also helped [[AcquiredPoisonImmunity Luffy]] deal with a deadly poison that was ''killing'' him, on the sole basis that he was a good friend of Sanji's who took such good care of him, without any ulterior motives. [[spoiler:It also turns out she secretly pulled a LoopholeAbuse on Judge's orders by swapping out the explosive bracelets for duds.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: Judge and his three sons Niji, Ichiji, and Yonji treat their subordinates horribly and have no qualms about doing so. It's obviously averted with [[WhiteSheep Sanji]], and later subverted with Reiju, who is indeed capable of compassion but hides it out of fear of being abused like Sanji was. [[spoiler:It's later justified in Chapter 852; Judge wanted all of his children to become utterly remorseless killers and efficient warriors, so he modified them by removing their empathy while in utero so they will be literally incapable of feeling compassion. This is why Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are irredeemably cruel and abusive assholes. Their mother, Sora, intended to preserve their humanity by taking a dangerous drug that reversed gene modifications, but it only worked on Sanji who, had it not been for Sora, would've turned out as bad as his brothers.]]
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Sanji and Yonji's elder brothers Ichiji and Niji, who have longer hair and are more {{Bishonen}} than them.
* MadeofIron: Taken to ludicrous extremes, even for One Piece. All of Sanji's siblings were genetically engineered to possess "outer skeletons." As children, Sanji only hurt his fists trying to hit his brothers, and in present day Sanji's kicks deform their faces like metal.
** This is a reference to their robotic-like origin, such as the androids in Cyborg009.
* MadScientist: Sanji learns that prior to proclaiming himself royalty, Judge Vinsmoke used to be a companion of Vegapunk, and they did scientific research together. Judge managed to escape being arrested by the WG for their discovery of the Lineage Factor, while Vegapunk wasn't so lucky.
* MafiaPrincess:
** Reiju is a literal example, due to her family's royal status (despite them not ruling any official territory anymore) combining with their Underworld associations. It's later double-subverted as, while she fully knows what her family is doing and supports them, it's only a facade as Reiju actually fears being abused by her brothers and father (save Sanji), so she's forced to [[StepfordSmiler keep smiling]] and keep obeying their orders so she won't be singled out. [[spoiler:It gets to the point where she is utterly consumed by self-loathing and wishes to die along with her family on the day of Sanji's wedding so they won't continue to blight the world anymore.]]
** Sanji is a literal male example, except in his case he plays it straight [[AbusiveParents for extremely]] [[BigBrotherBully justified reasons]].
* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Played with. While the vast majority of the "disposable" Germa clones are indeed men, you can actually see a woman among their ranks in chapter 833.
* MightMakesRight: The entire family's ideals seem to be based on this, which explains why all of them are a BadassFamily. Then there's the whole ruling the North Blue thing they did in the past. Sanji's refusal to follow these ideals was what soured his relationship with is family and caused him to be seen as "weak". Reiju's fear of receiving the same treatment turned her into a StepfordSmiler.
* MissingMom: The Vinsmoke matriarch died when Sanji and his siblings were little [[spoiler:because she became terminally ill from consuming a drug that she hoped would save her then-unborn quadruplet sons from becoming their father's utterly remorseless and emotionless weapons. For some reason, it only worked on Sanji, while his brothers had only a tiny shred of their original humanity left]].
* MeaningfulName: "Vin" is French for "wine". Add "smoke" to that and you get a play-on-words that describes a certain flavor of wine (smoky wine). Sanji, the third son of the Vinsmoke family, just so happens to be a chain-smoking SupremeChef.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: All over the place but especially in the Vinsmoke family dining room: There's a giant menacing eagle statue, a large black wall-hanging with intersecting lines like a cross, skulls, lightning bolts, skulls with lightning bolts, and loads of black banners with the family's [[SigilSpam 66 emblem]] (66 = [[GratuitousSpanish "seis-seis"]] = SS), plus the fact that they're called the Germa[ny] kingdom. The "raid suits" the family wears in active combat (with the exception of Reiju's) also [[PuttingOnTheReich quite resembles the SS uniform]]. While they don't seem to want to kill any one race that they blame their misfortunes on (yet) they view everyone who isn't royal as beneath them and only good for exploitation. They also used to conquer a whole ocean region, quite like how Germany in WWII tried to conquer the whole Europe.
* NoSell: Anytime little Sanji tried retaliating against his cruel, abusive quadruplet brothers, it wouldn't work and have no effect at all; case in point, Sanji smacks his brother Niji in the face with a bamboo sword during a training session with no effect, or tries punching Ichiji in the face and ends up hurting his hand badly. It's revealed the brothers have an "outer skeleton" that Sanji didn't develop [[spoiler:because his mother, Sora, took a poisonous drug that undid all of his genetic enhancements before he was born, at the cost of her own life.]]
* NoodleIncident: Just how exactly did they lose rulership over the North Blue? It's implied they were eventually overthrown, but details are currently in the dark.
* NotHyperbole: Reiju debuts apologizing to the Straw Hats for Yonji's apathy toward Luffy getting poisoned, saying that he doesn't have a shred of humanity in him. [[spoiler:[[EmotionSuppression Thanks to their father, he (as well as his brothers not named "Sanji") literally doesn't.]]]]
* NumericalThemeNaming: As mentioned above, all of the Vinsmoke kids are named after numbers.
** Reiju's number is zero. She is the Vinsmoke family's firstborn child and only daughter, while her younger siblings who came after her are all guys. Unlike her brothers, her Germa 66 outfit (shown on her page image) consist of circles representing the number zero.
** Ichiji's number is one. Ichiji is the firstborn of male fraternal quadruplets. He is also a badass WarriorPrince who stops a civil war in Broccoli Island in just ''four hours''. He also seems to work in tandem with Niji, his second quadruplet brother. He's also Niji's opposite, being more stoic and aloof than his brother (as well as the rest of his siblings).
** Niji's number is two. Niji is the second-born of male fraternal quadruplets. He also seems to work in tandem with Ichiji, his eldest quadruplet brother. He's also Ichiji's opposite, being incredibly spiteful and [[HotBlooded hot-tempered]].
** Sanji's number is three. Sanji is the third-born of male fraternal quadruplets. As an odd number, the number three is associated with social alienation - Sanji was abused and treated as TheUnfavorite by his family for being weak and compassionate, to the point of running away to East Blue while still a child.
** Yonji's number is four, an unlucky number in Asian cultures. Yonji is the fourth-born of male fraternal quadruplets. Ever since his debut, he has been a ButtMonkey, suffering defeat from both his sister Reiju and his brother Sanji (to the point of disfigurement in the latter case).
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: As implied with the case of Ichiji and Niji, the Vinsmokes can do good things like stopping a bloody civil war, as long as you have some coin to pay them in return. The Vinsmoke family will also lend their support to whomever possesses the biggest pockets.
* OutnumberedSibling: Reiju is the only daughter in the family. All of her younger siblings are male fraternal quadruplets.
* PeekABangs: Just like Sanji, all of the siblings (save for Yonji and Judge) have hair hiding one of their eyes. Their mother, Sora, also had her styled like this.
* PetTheDog:
** Double-subverted with Reiju. At first it would appear like she's playing nice to coax Sanji into marrying Pudding and joining their family, but it's revealed that it's just a carefully crafted facade because Reiju does actually shares Sanji's empathy - she's too afraid that, if she shows it openly, she'll be subjected to abuse. It's also shown in flashbacks that Reiju was responsible for fixing up Sanji's wounds (either from their family's TrainingFromHell or their brothers' bullying) and helping him escape the family dungeons.
** When Judge declared Sanji dead it was treated as a national tragedy (he actually threw his "failure" of a son in prison and encased his head in an iron mask). But even then Sanji still got fine meals (the kitchen staff thinks there's a secret VIP or Judge has a mistress) and when he escaped (with Reiju's help), Judge, despite his great irritations towards Sanji's shortcomings, let him go and told him that he could never kill his own blood, even a failure like Sanji. He did, however, tell Sanji never to reveal his true birthright to anyone else.
* ProfessionalKiller: All of them except Sanji and Vinsmokes' dead mother are royal Underworld assassins. It's implied that people sometimes hire them to take care of DirtyBusiness for a substantial fee.
* PsychoRangers: The siblings (minus Sanji/plus Judge) are basically evil ''sentai''.
* RebelPrince: Sanji in the backstory apparently ran away from his family to the East Blue for the extensive abuse he went through. When he's reunited with the family again, he makes it clear that he wants ''nothing'' to do with them.
* RedBaron: Judge is also known as the "Garuda". Likewise Ichiji is "Sparking Red", Niji is "Electric Blue", Yonji is "Winch Green" and Reiju is "Poison Pink". Sanji is known as "Black Leg", taking after [[ParentalSubstitute Zeff]]'s "Red Leg" epithet. Only Sora, the Vinsmoke children's deceased mother, averts this.
* RedOniBlueOni: Ichiji is calmer, Niji is easily irritated, yet it's [[RedBaron inverted in their color-themed epithets]]. Then again, even Yonji and Sanji can be blues to Niji's red.
* TheReveal:
** Why Sanji never spoke of his family: In exchange for letting him leave (on a cruise ship in the East Blue as it turns out) Judge ordered him to never reveal his relation to the Vinsmokes.
** In Chapter 852, why Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are complete assholes: [[spoiler:they were physically and psychologically altered in utero by Judge, who also removed their empathy so they'll become efficient yet utterly remorseless killers. Their mother, Sora, tried to preserve their humanity by secretly consuming a drug that reversed Lineage Factor experiments, but only saved Sanji and died for her trouble. Also, had it not been for Sora, Sanji would have been born as bad as his brothers.]]
* RoseHairedSweetie: While Reiju at first doesn't look like she'll fit the "sweetie" part, her pink hair serves as a hint: In her first appearance she gladly helps Luffy's poisoning problem despite being on different sides, and it's later revealed that she (other than Sanji) is the only one among her family that have (working) compassion and empathy.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Though they currently have no land to rule over anymore[[note]]Except the Germa Kingdom, but it doesn't count since it's a ship-based kingdom[[/note]], the Vinsmoke family are still considered royals, and retain enough power and influence to be allowed to participate in Reverie meetings.
** Judge tells his children they will all lead their own armies when they grow up.
* RuleOfThree: Played in an odd way, '''San'''ji is the only brother who doesn't have any of Judge's "enhancements" like [[SuperToughness armored skin]], SuperStrength, and LackOfEmpathy, [[spoiler:because his mother, Sora, took a dangerous gene modification-reversing drug in hopes of saving her quadruplet sons from becoming Judge's weapons. Only Sanji was saved, while his brothers weren't so lucky.]]
* {{Sentai}}: They have this motif, being brightly colored, super powerful characters who strike poses and work as a team, complete with using "raid suits" contained in a TransformationTrinket and having elaborate TransformationSequence as they activate it. Ironically though, they're super ''villains'' rather than superheroes.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: The Vinsmoke kids all wear different-colored small scarves on their neck. And they're all kickass in some way.
* SharedFamilyQuirks:
** Sanji's older and younger quadruplet brothers share quite a few of his traits. Ichiji, the [[AloofBigBrother eldest]], has Sanji's cool head (when Sanji's not being HotBlooded); Niji has Sanji's [[HotBlooded temper]] cranked UpToEleven (and not PlayedForLaughs, either); and all brothers, even Ichiji, share Sanji's [[HandsomeLech perverted tendencies]] as they ogle Nami the second they see her, complete with Sanji's trademark "[[WingdingEyes Heart Eyes]]".
** Sanji's older sister Reiju also shares his perverted tendencies, as she seems to enjoy giving the poisoned Luffy a KissOfLife a little ''too'' much, and his preference for using powerful kicks, as she was able to send Yonji into the ocean with one strike. She also shares Sanji's compassion, which was inherited from their [[MissingMom dead mother]], though she was forced to [[StepfordSmiler hide it]] [[BigBrotherBully for personal]] [[AbusiveParents reasons]].
** On the subject of kicking, Niji also shares this with Sanji as he tries to attack him with a kick during a family meal dispute (though in the next chapter he also punches Sanji), and Judge also fights using kicks.
** [[spoiler:Sanji inherited his [[SpannerInTheWorks work-spanning tendencies]] from his mother Sora, who disapproved of Judge's plans for their children and took a dangerous drug that reversed gene-modifying surgeries in hopes of saving her sons from being turned into human weapons, all before he and his brothers were born; she was only successful with Sanji herself but it's the thought that counts.]]
* SoProudOfYou: Sanji's quadruplet siblings, who all hate his guts (the feeling is mutual) for being "weak" in every sense of the word, finally acknowledge him in Chapter 843 as their brother, smiling and laughing when Sanji adopts their family beliefs and tells his Straw Hat friends to bugger off when they come to rescue him from his ArrangedMarriage (the truth is Sanji was blackmailed and wants to protect his loved ones). Subverted with Reiju, who silently listens in on the whole thing with a sad expression on her face.
* StepfordSmiler: Reiju is revealed to be this through flashbacks; she actually cared for Sanji and shared his empathy, but she was afraid of being singled out by their brothers and father, too, so she pretended to smile and laugh every time she saw Sanji being abused and bullied (notice how her smile also looks the same in every scene). In one chapter she privately reveals her reasons to Sanji, and in the next chapter she actually cries after helping Sanji escape and telling him never to come back.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: All of the Vinsmoke children resemble Sanji to some degree.
** Reiju would be the end result if Sanji was turned into a woman, with the same perverted personality (except hers is directed towards men) and preference of using kicks as attacks. She looks almost identical to her deceased mother (albeit a bit fierce-looking).
** Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji all resemble Sanji, due to the four of them being fraternal quadruplet brothers; Yonji in particular is Sanji's spitting image in all but hair and eyebrows, and even has the same perverted personality, [[MistakenIdentity which caused him to be mistaken for Sanji by the Straw Hat Pirates at first]].
** Averted with their father, Judge, who looks nothing like his children. Must be that chin, mustache, and the wrestler-like mask he wears.
** Played straight once again with their (deceased) mother; aside from not having swirly eyebrows, she looked exactly like her daughter Reiju does in the present day, down to her PeekABangs hairstyle. And of course, she passed on her looks to her sons as well to some degree.
* SymbolMotifClothing: All of Vinsmokes (sans Sanji and their dead mother obviously) have "66" written on their clothing. It also references their swirly eyebrows in a way.
* ThickerThanWater: Judge admits that even though Sanji's an utter failure and probably wishes he was dead, he can't bring himself to murder someone of his own blood.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Reiju is the only one of Sanji's biological family members who despite participating in, and supporting, her family's activities, actually feels guilty for what she'd done, and she isn't an abusive dick to poor Sanji unlike the others. She greatly cares for her younger brother and loves seeing him display his compassion as much as he could [[spoiler:as it's a reminder that their mother's HeroicSacrifice to save Reiju's brothers was not made in vain]], but was, and still is, too afraid of violent retribution from her other brothers and father to stand up to them. When she learned that Sanji was left to rot in the family dungeons, she secretly freed him and tearfully told him to find people who ''will'' love him for who he is. She also saves Luffy's life after he gets poisoned in lieu of nothing simply because he's Sanji's friend, despite the fact that doing so could potentially complicate the machinations of Big Mom and her father to marry Sanji off to Big Mom's daughter, Pudding [[spoiler:which turns out to be a sham]]. And after [[spoiler:Sanji finds Reiju being tormented by Pudding and gets her medical attention]], she again urges Sanji to flee when he tells her about [[spoiler:Big Mom's plans to kill the Vinsmokes and steal their technology]], because she believes herself and the rest of her family to be deserving of death for all of the cruel things they did to others and wants Sanji to live with his Straw Hat friends unburdened - not to mention this will also save Sanji's savior and ParentalSubstitute, Zeff.
* TragicVillain: Reiju and her brothers were all essentially ForcedIntoEvil by Judge in one way or another. Reiju retains most of her emotional capacity, but she's had her mind modified in a way that [[spoiler:she can't outright refuse to follow Judge's orders...]] meanwhile, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji had their ability to [[spoiler:feel and understand benevolent emotions outright ''removed'' by Judge in utero]], thus they never had the chance to be good people from the moment they were born.
* TrainingFromHell: The Vinsmoke kids were subjected to this since their childhood. Played with, in that while the training regime is indeed hellish and Sanji suffered for it, his other siblings are clearly okay and even enjoying them as their capabilities are expanded.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Brutal, hard-looking, and hard-hearted Judge who couldn't stand Sanji's weaknesses and habits, compared to his lovely, sweet, delicate wife who was proud of her son's efforts, going so far as to not only eat a meal of his that her maid tossed for looking and tasting horrible, but declaring that from then on she will eat Sanji's meals ''exclusively''.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Judge and Reiju, though [[SpearCounterpart his sons count too for that matter]]. While Judge isn't a {{Gonk}} by any means, he's a very large and brutish-looking man while all of his kids are downright [[PrettyBoy pretty]].
* UndyingLoyalty: All members of Germa 66 are extremely loyal to the Vinsmoke family, to the point of ''[[TakingTheBullet taking bullets for them]]'' if their superiors wished. This extends to the servants and maids, who are loyal even to Sanji, who doesn't associate himself with his relatives anymore. Unfortunately, this loyalty is rather one-sided, as the Vinsmoke family (sans Sanji) only sees them as means to an end.
** In the case of the soldiers, it's justified with them being clones who are programmed to be loyal to their masters.
* TheUnfavorite: All of Sanji's family saw him as this as a child due to being physically weak and compassionate. Judge in particular sees Sanji as a disgrace to the family name, and only sees him as a throwaway and a tool to seal Germa 66's alliance with Big Mom despite Sanji [[TookALevelInBadass taking a level in strength and (literal) firepower]] during the Sabaody Arc. The only people who cared for Sanji was his [[MissingMom deceased mother]], and [[TokenGoodTeammate Reiju]] (though the latter was forced to hide her true colors for fear of being abused as well). Sora in particular lavished her son with care because he kept visiting her while she was sick, come hell or high water [[spoiler: and was the only one of her quadruplet sons who kept his humanity after Judge experimented on him and his brothers in utero, thanks to the drug Sora took.]]
* UnusualEyebrows: The Vinsmokes all share Sanji's signature swirly brows. However, while all of his siblings' brows swirl to the left side of their face, Sanji's ones are inverted and swirl to the ''right''.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Judge is reduced to this when he realizes he and his whole family are going to be slaughtered by Big Mom and unlike his sons he still has his emotions, enough to burst into tears.]]
* VillainousRescue: In Chapter 869, [[spoiler:the Vinsmoke children, after being freed by Sanji, regain their raid suits and attack the Charlotte family/Big Mom Pirates to save the Straw Hats from being captured and buy everyone time to escape into Bege's fortress.]]
* VirtueIsWeakness: The Vinsmokes equate any form of virtue or compassion with an exploitable weakness. The only exceptions to this trope are [[WhiteSheep Sanji]], his older sister, [[TokenGoodTeammate Reiju]], and their deceased mother.
* WalkingSpoiler: Every single Vinsmoke, considering that Sanji having such a large, active family was never even hinted at before their reveal.
* WarriorPrince: Yonji, Sanji, and their two older brothers Ichiji and Niji are these, since the Vinsmoke family (despite no longer officially ruling any territory) are still seen as royals, and their children are all badass to varying degrees. They're also [[TykeBomb specifically raised and engineered]] by Judge so they would become commanders of their army (although Sanji came out as a dud, he became badass in his own way) [[spoiler:and, in the case of Sanji's brothers, altered to have literally no empathy so they would have no problem with killing.]]
* WeHaveReserves: The Vinsmoke family's (sans Sanji) rather appalling treatment of their soldiers is due to all Germa 66 soldiers being clones - if one soldier dies, they're easily replaced by another clone.
* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Despite the fact that they're all clones, the soldiers of Germa 66 clearly have personalities and thoughts of their own, as shown when they cheered on Sanji's fight with Judge and conversed with each other. And, yet, the Vinsmokes still use them as [[HumanShield meat shields]] with not even the slightest hint of remorse.
* WhiteSheep: Sanji is the only Vinsmoke who refuses to participate in his family's activities or even associate with them. It's later revealed that he is also the only Vinsmoke who averts AristocratsAreEvil, being willing to cook for people his family sees as "rats" (including literal rats) and was bullied viciously for it. This is represented by his eyebrows pointing to the right, while the eyebrows of his siblings [[ASinisterClue point to the left]]. This is lampshaded repeatedly by his family as how he has "the mind of a plebeian" and that he completely refuses to "act like royals". Sanji apparently has similar traits to the family's long dead matron, Sora, and Judge scolded him for it, saying that there's no use in following the legacy of the dead.
** When Judge and Ichiji said that Sanji was a dud, they meant it - despite having the same genetic enhancement as his siblings, when they train Sanji always fell behind, which irritates them (except for Reiju). So much that they tried to [[DeathFakedForYou pass Sanji off as "dead"]] because of it. [[spoiler: Turns out Sanji's enhancement was hindered by his mother taking a drug, to specifically prevent him from losing his compassion. Reiju makes it clear that Sanji is ''not'' the dud, he is the only Vinsmoke son who was affected by the drug.]]
* WomenAreWiser: Not only Sora, the dead matriarch of the family, was a gentle NiceGirl who loved her son Sanji a lot, but her daughter and eldest child Reiju is the only remaining Vinsmoke, save for Sanji, with a moral compass of her own; she just keeps it hidden for fear of being abused by her family.
* WouldHitAGirl: Sanji's second oldest brother Niji doesn't like the food provided to him by the head cook, Cosette. After calling her, he ignores Cosette's pleas for forgiveness, telling her to shut up and stand still before proceeding to throw the plate at her face at high speed; however, Sanji stops the plate and tastes the food, commenting on its excellent taste. Later, Sanji finds poor Cosette bloody and beaten into unconsciousness by Niji, which in that case is unusual as that level of violence is usually reserved for male characters. Sanji is so enraged by this that he deems his brother "lower than scum".
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: None of the Vinsmoke children (sans Sanji) has a natural hair color. Each of them has hair matching their color-themed epithets: Reiju has pink hair, Ichiji has red hair, Niji has blue hair, and Yonji has green hair.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Germa's cloned soldiers take just five years to mature and are "born" with 20-year old bodies and even memories.

!Blackbeard Pirates
[[folder: Overview of the Blackbeard Pirates]]
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Kurohige_2624.png]]

The small yet mighty pirate crew of the evil pirate Marshall D. Teach aka Blackbeard. Despite their small size, they're powerful enough to take on a whole kingdom, like Drum. First introduced in Jaya, they later reappear on Banaro Island where they capture Ace. After the events of Impel Down, the crew is now strengthened by several legendary criminals and is heading to the New World. Blackbeard's initial crew members were Van Augur the marksman, Jesus Burgess the fighter, Doc Q the doctor and his horse Stronger, and Laffitte the navigator. Following the crew's breakout from Impel Down, they recruited Shilliew the swordsman, Catarina Devon, Avalo Pizarro, Vasco Shot, and Sanjuan Wolf, all former Level Six prisoners and highly feared individuals.

After the TimeSkip, Blackbeard has replaced Whitebeard as one of the Four Emperors as confirmed in Chapter 650. He has since expanded his crew greatly, to the extent that it is now divided into ten divisions, each led by one of his Ten Titanic Captains. Burgess, Shiliew, and Laffitte are all confirmed to be captains.
----
%% AffablyEvil: Especially Laffitte.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Sanjuan Wolf really earns his nickname Colossal Battleship. He's so big the only place where he could hide was [[UpToEleven behind Marineford's base!!]]
%% BadassCrew: Undeniably.
* BeastMan: Avalo Pizarro seems to be some sort of cat-man hybrid.
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: They're all a bunch of fatalists.
* {{BFG}}: Van Augur has a very big, long rifle.
%% BloodKnight: Burgess has shades of this.
* BoobsOfSteel: Catarina Devon is said to be the most dangerous female criminal in the world, and her bust is surprisingly big.
* ButterFace: Catarina Devon has a wonderful body, coupled with a hideous face. Originally, she was going to be a pretty samurai lady from Wano and a counterpart for Zoro, but eventually Oda decided to make her this way.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Burgess can lift a whole inn and toss it while he's jumping.
%% DarkActionGirl: Catarina Devon.
* DirtyCop: Laffitte was a policeman in West Blue until he was thrown off the force for his brutality and sadism.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Laffitte, whose looks is based off a {{Bifauxnen}} musician. In other words, he's a guy that looks like a girl that looks like a guy that looks like a girl.
* DullSurprise: The typical expression of Van Augur, except for a tiny instance of SlasherSmile [[spoiler: while fightning Ace.]]
* DumbMuscle: Burgess is not really smart and neither is Wolf or possibly Vasco.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Van Auger is introduced sniping seagulls too far away to be seen by the naked eye. Doc Q, even more tellingly, is giving out apples in town... some, but not all of which are explosive.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Straw Hat Pirates. Unlike them, it's shown that they don't really think of each other as TrueCompanions - in particular, the new ones that joined at Marineford. Probably because at least 4/5 of them were infamous Captains now serving a relative upstart.
* TheFatalist: Along with [[NietzscheWannabe nihilism]], this is a pretty consistent attitude among the crew.
%% FatBastard: Vasco Shot.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Indeed, while they have skills when we first meet them they're relative unknowns and didn't even have a proper pirate ship (it was just a raft tied together with heavy logs with a sail). [[spoiler: But after Blackbeard manages to pull off his gambit and kill Whitebeard, they're taken seriously as a threat and after the time skip, are now even TheDreaded since Blackbeard is now a Pirate Emperor.]]
%% GagNose: Vasco Shot and, on a lesser degree, Blackbeard and Devon.
* {{Gonk}}: Many of them. This seems to be in contrast to the Straw Hat Pirates, who are either pretty, cool, or cute. Meanwhile, the Blackbeard Pirates are deliberately ugly. The only exceptions being Van Augur (who's simply average looking) and Laffitte (who's more [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette creepy]][[UncannyValley -looking]] than ugly). This was actually meant to be a character trait by Oda, who believes that real pirates should be rough and ugly-looking.
* GunsAkimbo: Some of them have pistols on them. Avalo Pizarro appears to have guns attached to his forearms. Or [[ThisIsADrill drills]], hard to tell.
* HollywoodCyborg: Pizarro, when first introduced hand Drill-like hands and then back to normal. If it's not a [[ShapeshifterWeapon limb-weapon]] Paramecia, he may be this.
* InASingleBound: Burgess can leap down several hundred meters without difficulty.
* KiAttacks: Post TimeSkip, Burgess can employ Armament Haki.
%% LeanAndMean: Van Auger.
* LineOfSightName: To enter the Dressrosa gladiatorial tournament, Burgess puts a paper bag on his head emblazoned with the words "HAPPY STORE." The name he enters into the tournament under: Mr Store.
* MadeOfIron: In a Anime-only scene, Burgess takes a solid punch from [[spoiler:Monkey D. Garp, the guy who went toe-to-toe with Roger]], with surprisingly little pain.
** That's nothing compared to the shockwave [[spoiler:Sengoku delivered to them in [[OneWingedAngel Buddha form]] which sent them flying]]. All of them, even Doc Q and freakin' Stronger got up almost immediately.
* NietzscheWannabe: A pretty common attitude among the crew.
* NonIndicativeName: Catarina and Pizarro's titles (Crescent Moon Huntress and Corrupted King) are yet to be explained.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: Remember how big Oars was? Sanjuan Wolf ''towers'' over him. The guy is so huge that he is roughly the same size as the Marine headquarters' tallest building. In fact, he's introduced in the flesh hiding ''behind'' that building. Afterward, being too big for the Blackbeard's ship, he decides to stand in the Grand Line. Literally. He can walk on the bottom of the ocean and have his head still above water.
* PsychopathicManchild: Sanjuan Wolf does not seem to have much of a grasp on reality.
* SignatureLaugh: Burgess' "Wi~hahahaha!"
* SinisterScythe: Doc Q's weapon, usually carried in a bag. It has two blades to boot.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Thankfully, chapter 595 gives their names with the right spelling.
* TheStarscream: Avalo Pizarro has shades of this, but he may be kidding. [[spoiler: Shiliew does not seem to have that much loyalty, and he has betrayed others before]].
* UnexpectedCharacter: [[spoiler:Burgess makes an unexpected appearance in the Corrida Colosseum.]]
* VillainousValor: [[spoiler:Averted; at least Shiliew would split up if Blackbeard's plans regarding the Gura Gura Fruit would have failed.]]
%% WickedCultured: Van Augur.

[[folder:"Champion" Jesus Burgess]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1jesus_burgess_anime_post_timeskip_infobox_1_2.png]]
->Voiced by: Creator/TetsuInada (JP), Phil Parsons (EN, Funi)

One of the original 5 Blackbeard Pirates and the helmsman of the crew, Burgess is a large, muscular man and a powerful hand-to-hand fighter with a love of combat. Burgess would become a member of the Ten Titanic Captains and the Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates' 1st Ship upon their ascension to Emperor-hood, and arrived at Dressrossa with the intention of winning the Mera Mera no Mi for his crew in the Corrida Colosseum tournament.
----
* BadassBeard: Post-Timeskip, he's grown a rather sizable, flowing beard.
* BloodKnight: Loves fighting, to the point he basically spends his free time in Jaya challenging anyone strong there to a fight. He also relishes the chance to fight Luffy in the Corrida Colosseum.
* BoisterousBruiser: A very loud and cheerful brawler prone to flashy displays and poses.
* TheBrute: Generally serves this role, though he is shown to be capable of cunning and deceptive feats of intelligence.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Given his looks and his [[BoisterousBruiser boisterous]] BloodKnight personality, one might mistake him for a simpleton. However, on more than one occasion he's shown to be quite canny, with the biggest example so far being [[spoiler:sneaking aboard a Revolutionary Army ship and giving Blackbeard and his comrades a way to find the Revolutionary Army's home base.]]
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Throws buildings around like sandbags in the battle with Ace.
* CombatPragmatism: In spite of his love for fighting, when the situation calls for it Burgess is all too willing to put it aside for the bigger picture. Examples include his use of guns when the Blackbeard Pirates [[spoiler:killed Whitebeard]], when he watched and waited during Luffy and Doflamingo's fight for Luffy to be left vulnerable before leaping out and trying to kill him, or, as mentioned below, [[spoiler:using Sabo's guilt over Ace's death to try to get him to act irrationally and leave an opening for him to attack with a dagger.]]
* CoolMask: A particularly badass looking luchador-esque mask.
* {{Determinator}}: Despite being pretty much destroyed by Sabo (a bone is sticking out of one of his legs!), he still manages to board Sabo's ship and reach the Revolutionary's headquarters in Baltigo, where he manages to remain hidden and conscious for ten days.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: [[BoisterousBruiser First seen standing on top of a house shouting]] and [[BloodKnight looking for a fight.]]
* EvilCounterpart: Possibly turning into one to Franky. Both are quite boisterous brawlers in a fight, very flashy, and both introduce themselves in the series as prone to starting a fight (though Burgess is quite a bit more aggressive). However, Burgess only uses his raw strength and what he is capable of in a fight, along with a little bit of cunning. Franky is a bit more reliant on his abilities as a cyborg, but he can fight underhanded as well and he's just as effective in a brawl.
* KamehameHadoken: A weird variant; Burgess has a technique called "Hado Elbow" where he fires a shockwave out of his elbow.
* KiAttacks: Shown to have learnt Armament Haki over the timeskip, though his still isn't as powerful as Sabo's.
* MadeOfIron: While his second battle with Sabo doesn't go too well for him, he takes a huge amount of punishment to put down.
** In the anime, he shrugs off a direct hit from '''Garp'''.
* NervesOfSteel: In the anime, he faces down Garp and Sengoku without fear.
* OneManArmy: Defeats the entire Block A in the Corrida Colosseum in an instant.
* RazorWind: His Galleon Lariat technique is a unique variant, in that it's his forearm that causes a massive slice rather than a blade.
* SignatureLaugh: "Wi-hahaha!"
* SlasherSmile: His default expression, particularly when he is about to enter combat.
* {{Troll}}: Burgess does this to Sabo in Chapter 792; specifically, he mocks Ace in front of him, trying to make him mad enough to get close as he prepares for a sneak attack to take his fruit. Unfortunately, Sabo is quick to react and Burgess gets Fire Fisted right in his face.
* VillainousValor: Drags Doc Q and Stronger away from the battle between Ace and Blackbeard to save them from being caught in the crossfire, and is fiercely loyal to Teach.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He is topless in the Corrida Colosseum tournament.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Lavender hair, to be specific.

-->"My future here is no future at all. I've been waiting to meet a man like you."

->Voiced by: Takayuki Sugou (JP), Matt Thurston (EN)

Shiliew was once the Head Jailer of Impel Down. He was stripped of his rank, was sentenced to execution, and was placed in Level 6 of Impel Down. Magellan, desperate for help, temporarily releases Shiliew to crush the riot. Instead, Shiliew attacks the workers and cuts off communications. Shiliew saved the Blackbeard Pirates from Magellan's poison and promptly joined the team, eventually being the commander of the Blackbeard Pirates' 2nd ship.
----
* AxCrazy: Very much so. One wonders how someone this psychopathic earned the position as Head Jailer of the most important prison in the world.
* {{BFS}}: His sword is a type used to kill cavalry, but he wields it like a normal sword.
** Of course, he's much, much taller and larger than normal humans, so for him, it probably ''is'' a normal sword.
* CapeWings: Possibly. He is seen sporting devil wings when confronting Magellan, but they are not present afterward.
* CigarChomper: Never seen without a cigar.
* EvilCounterpart: To Zoro. Note his swordsmanship, being put on death row prior to joining Blackbeard, and calling Blackbeard out after Magellan's crushing attack. The fact that he used to be a jailer nicely parallels Zoro's past as a pirate hunter, too.
* FaceHeelTurn: Used to work for the [[TheGovernment World Government]], but defects and joins Blackbeard.
* TheFatalist: Seems to be a reason for joining Blackbeard.
* GagNose: As seen in the picture above.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Smokes a large cigar almost all the time.
* LanternJawOfJustice: Well, once believed in Justice. See GagNose for his massive features.
* LargeAndInCharge: Not as tall as Magellan, but much bigger than normal people.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:He killed prisoners for fun, claiming them to be "just trash". Then, he gets arrested, and sent to Level Six]].
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name translates to "Death Dragon".
* PuttingOnTheReich: Like all who work at Impel Down. His uniform seems to look more like the SS, which fits his [[PsychoForHire personality]].
* PsychoForHire: It's implied that he took the job as Head Jailer of Impel Down to torture and kill prisoners.
* SixthRanger: Joined Blackbeard's crew in between Blackbeard and his original members along with the Level Six prisoners he freed.
* SmokingIsCool: When he is released from jail, the first thing he asks for is a lighter so he can smoke his cigar.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Up until Chapter 595 gave us his official name, many refered to him as "Shiryuu".
* TailorMadePrison: [[spoiler:Gets placed on Level Six, after losing to Magellan]].

->Voiced by: Masaya Takatsuka (JP), Barry Yandell (EN, Funi)

One of the original 5 Blackbeard Pirates and the ship sniper, Van Augur is a masterful sharpshooter who lives up to his role and epithet, sniping with a large ornate rifle. Augur is typically stoic and defers to to his Captain.
----
* ColdSniper: Calm, stern and deeply believes in fate. Also a very capable sniper.
* CoolGun: A large rifle as with detailed carvings on it, as long as he is tall (and Augur is very tall).
* CoolHat: Wears a large one resembling a typical pirate's hat that is one of his distinguishing features (and may have given away his identity as a Blackbeard Pirate in Jaya).
* DullSurprise: The typical expression of Van Augur, except for a tiny instance of SlasherSmile [[spoiler: while fightning Ace.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Van Auger is introduced sniping seagulls too far away to be seen by the naked eye, and letting those who survived live on as he believes this was the path fate chose for them.
* EvilCounterpart: Seems to be being set up as one for Usopp, as the sniper of their respective crews. Granted, their personalities could not be more different.
* TheFatalist: Chalks up the result of his sniping to fate in Jaya.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Van Auger can snipe down seagulls when they're not even in sight and can easily tell if the shot was fatal or not.
* TheStoic: The most quiet member of the original Blackbeard Pirates.
* SuperSpeed: Displays this when dodging Ace's attacks.
* VillainousValour: Genuinely praises and admires Ace's ability to continue fighting Blackbeard even with the latter's ability to nullify his Devil Fruit.

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_628.png]]
--> "The thing called fate... it's a measure of how much a person's existence is worth..."

->Voiced by: Naoya Uchida (JP), Kenny Green (EN, Funi)

One of the original 5 Blackbeard Pirates and the ship doctor, Doc Q is a DeadlyDoctor who is constantly sickly and weak, just like his horse, Stronger, and seems to be the oldest member of the crew. Like most of the crew, he is a fatalist, believing that fate is the measure of a person's worth.
----
* DeadlyDoctor: It's in his damn epithet. Which kind of doctor goes around giving out explosive apples and carries a scythe around anyway?
* EvilCounterpart: Seems to be set up as one for Chopper as the doctors of their respective crews, although their beliefs could not be any more different.
* EvilOldFolks: The oldest Blackbeard Pirate and no less evil than the rest.
* TheFatalist: Believes fate to be the measure of a man's existence, which he uses to justify his giving out apples, some explosive, some normal. When Luffy gets a good apple, he says fate considered him worthy of survival.
* {{Irony}}: Mostly played for laughs that despite being a doctor, he is the one constantly sick, and so far seems unable to heal himself.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Seems heavily ill, though this has been played for laughs thus far.
* NiceHat: Wears a feathery, bowler-esque one.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler:It should be noted that when the crew captured Jewelry Bonney (someone who worries friggin' [[PersonOfMassDestruction Akainu]]), Blackbeard declared her as too weak for the crew and offered she'd be his woman instead. Bonney, mind you, is one of the Eleven Supernovas with a bounty of '''140,000,000 belli'''. This means that Blackbeard considers Doc Q is ''more'' deadly than even one of the eleven rookies the WG fears]].
* SinisterScythe: Carries a large one around with him in a bag, showing that he is indeed capable of combat.
* SlasherSmile: Packs one when he reveals some of the apples he is giving out are explosive.
* TeamPet: His equally sick horse, Stronger.
* TemptingApple: The basis of his 'give out explosive apples' shtick.

->Voiced by: Taiki Matsuno (JP), Christopher Bevins (EN, Funi)

One of the original 5 Blackbeard Pirates, Laffitte is the navigator and one of the more enigmatic members. An effeminate man resembling a mime, he seems to possess powers of hypnosis and has wings that make him capable of flight just like a Skypeian. He is the man responsible for sneaking into Marine HQ to recommend Blackbeard as the next Shichibukai, and the one who hypnotized the guards to allow for their infiltration into Impel Down.
----
* AffablyEvil: Calm and mostly polite, but he was also fired from his job as a policeman for viciously beating suspects and civilians.
* AgentPeacock: Very camp. Not a reason to underestimate him, though.
* CaneFu: Wields a long cane that like Nami's one would assume factors into his combat ability.
* CatchPhrase: "We are called the Blackbeard Pirates. Please remember that." This was first used to inform Sengoku they were going to be highly significant in future, and next to warn Avalo Pizzaro not to overstep his bounds.
* CharmPerson: Laffitte is capable of hypnotizing people, which he use to allow the Blackbeard Pirates to infiltrate Impel Down.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: When Blackbeard and Ace threaten to bring island-wrecking carnage on each other, the other Blackbeard Pirates scramble for their lives. What is Lafitte doing? '''Humming''' while strolling away.
* TheDragon: Seems to fill this role, as the man appointed with the most important and dangerous tasks and the one who threatens to kill anyone in the crew who would challenge Teach's authority.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: His looks are based off a {{Bifauxnen}} musician. In other words, he's a guy that looks like a girl that looks like a guy that looks like a girl.
* EvilCounterpart: Seems to be being set up as one for Nami as the navigator of their respective crews. Like Nami, he is one of the most intelligent members of the crew.
* FurAndLoathing: After the timeskip, he's added a cape to his attire, collared with fur.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: Subverted. Despite having angelic wings, he is a core member of the core antagonist pirate crew in the series.
* NiceHat: Wears a top hat to go with his mime-esque design.
* PoliceBrutality: Originally he was a police officer somewhere in the West Blue, but his career was ended in scandal when it was revealed that he engaged heavily in this.
* SissyVillain: Heck, he's even wearing make up!
* UndyingLoyalty: His catchphrase says it all. He threatens to kill Avalo Pizzaro when he jokingly suggests taking over Blackbeard. Keep in mind Avalo is one of the most feared Level 6 criminals in history.

[[folder: Jack "The Drought"]]
[[quoteright:270:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jack_anime_infobox.png]]

-> '' I didn't come here to talk.''

-->Voiced by: Creator/KenjiNomura

One of the three "Calamities" that serve as Kaido's executive enforcers, Jack has ties to the Underworld and is known for his savagery, proclivity to violence, and recklessness. First mentioned at the end of Punk Hazard, we catch a glimpse of the man as he decides to rescue a recently defeated Donquixote Doflamingo from a Marine escort. He's responsible for leveling Kararu city in the country of Zou. He ate the Elephant-Elephant Fruit (''Zou Zou no Mi''), Model: Mammoth, an Ancient Zoan fruit.

He is notable for being the first person revealed in the series to have a bounty exceeding 9 digits, having a bounty of one ''billion'' berries.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: He's utterly enormous, has shark-like fangs, might have horns and can apparently [[spoiler:survive just fine at the bottom of the sea. All of which suggests he may be a Fishman or has Fishman blood.]]
* AndIMustScream: He's conscious under the water but, as a Devil Fruit user, is completely unable to move. So, [[spoiler:following his ships' attack on Zunesha, he's simply alive and paralyzed down there with no way out by himself.]]
* AnimalMotif: The figurehead of his ship features an elephant's tusks, relating to his power.
* ApparentlyHumanMerfolk: Chapter 824 reveals Jack very much alive [[spoiler:on the ocean floor]], which can explain his unbelievable strength and resilience. As [[spoiler:an apparent Fishman, he can breathe underwater]]. As a Devil Fruit user, he is powerless to do anything else until someone pulls him out.
* AxCrazy: To an almost suicidal degree. He mainly does all the damage he does to the Mink's kingdom because he ''enjoys'' destroying things.
* BadBoss: Subverted. His insatiable lust for violence leads him to order his crew into situations that they would have been better off avoiding and his subordinates have been put on edge by his explosive temper before, but they're also every bit as bloodthirsty and battle-crazed as he is and have no problem following him, even when the fight is one that he didn't need to start.
* BloodKnight: As he said himself, he loves to bring destruction.
* BraidsOfBarbarism: He has two long strands of braided hair that dangle from his sides.
* BullyingADragon: Has a habit of picking incredibly difficult fights, even if he doesn't have to:
** We first see him about to attack the prison convoy taking Doflamingo to prison. As it was guarded by one Admiral, one former Fleet Admiral and several Vice-Admirals, he was beaten.
** Before even that, he waged war on the Mink Tribe, even when they offered to let him peacefully search their homes for what he wanted. The Minks were so tough that eventually Jack had to use a gas weapon from Caesar Clown to break the stalemate.
** Ultimately, this is how Jack meets his first complete defeat; he decides to [[spoiler:kill Zunesha the elephant itself]] to wipe out the Minks. As it turns out, [[spoiler:antagonizing an elephant so large that the people living on it are like ants]] is a [[HopelessBossFight really]], [[CurbStompBattle really]] [[LaserGuidedKarma bad idea.]]
* CoDragons: With two other, as-yet-unidentified, people as the "Calamities" to Kaido.
* ColdBloodedTorture: A flashback shows him personally torturing a mink for information, and in the wake of his rampage there are dozens of torture racks set up across Zou.
* CombatPragmatist: What does he do when the Mink Tribe are tougher then he thought? Use one of Caesar's poison gas weapons on them.
* CoolSword: He wields two swords that are [[OddlyShapedSword almost helical, similar to a mammoth's tusks]]. The sheaths for these swords even look like tusks at first glance. [[spoiler: He uses these swords to lop off Cat Viper's arm and Dogstorm's leg while he's torturing them.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Towards his crew members, such as calling his lookout a dumbass for pointing out the blatantly obvious fact that a several mile high elephant is in view.
* {{Determinator}}: Jack cannot be reasoned with. ''At all''. When he sets a goal, there is no amount of convincing or unforeseen factors that's going to keep him from doing what he sets out to do. In fact, merely attempting to bargain with Jack seems to infuriate him.
* TheDreaded: Renowned for his brutality, ruthlessness, complete unwillingness to bargain or compromise, and the absolutely incredible amount of destruction that follows him. The fact that he has a bounty of ''one billion Berries'' (''the'' second highest seen in the series so far) says volumes about how serious a threat he is.
* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: Jack is ''mercilessly'' violent and absolutely savages the Mink civilization on Zou to the point of bringing it to near total oblivion. After sending waves of men to level the city, he uses a chemical weapon to incapacitate the remaining fighters before having the mink leaders dragged out to a public square, where they're crucified and dismembered for information.
* FangsAreEvil: [[spoiler:When Zunesha smashes his ship]], his mask breaks, revealing a mouth full of fangs.
* HairTriggerTemper: Notoriously unstable and quick to anger and extremely prone to violence.
* HonorableElephant: Jack is a complete [[AvertedTrope aversion]], as he is a vicious, cruel and short-tempered brute and is also notorious for being completely impossible to reason or bargain with.
* HopelessBossFight: This was the ''only'' reason why he failed to bail Doflamingo out; it doesn't matter how powerful you are, taking on an Admiral, an ex-Fleet Admiral, and three Vice Admirals at the same time is something that only a small handful of people in the One Piece world can do with anything resembling a reasonable expectation of success. He didn't have one and didn't care, and the results were very predictable.
** [[spoiler: We didn't know it at the time, but his assault on Zunesha was also this. One-billion berry bounty or not, what's one man and his grunt soldiers to a colossal, ''island-sized elephant'' dropping the full weight of its trunk on them at once?]]
* HornedHumanoid: Possesses a set of horns akin to Kaido's.
* {{Irony}}:
** For all the violence, brutality, torture, and devastation he brought upon the Mink Tribe, [[spoiler: it turns out that the Minks ''were'' harboring Raizou.]]
** His Mammoth Zoan means that he towers over his opponents, and he's introduced demolishing a building with one blow from his trunk. [[spoiler: Zunesha does exactly the same to him and his crew.]]
** Despite being nicknamed "the Drought," [[spoiler: he can survive underwater.]]
* InsaneEqualsViolent: The two words that people have consistently used to describe Jack are ‘insane’ and ‘monster’.
* TheJuggernaut: Monstrously powerful and durable and possesses seemingly inexhaustible stamina. His patience is exhaustible, though - which is what the Minks are trying to exploit. He ''can'' be stopped (as the results of his fight with the fleet escorting Doflamingo demonstrated), but the fact that it took [[HopelessBossFight two Admiral-level fighters and three Vice Admirals]] to whoop his ass says volumes about how inexorable the man truly is.
* LanternJawOfJustice: Inverted. In his human form, he wears a mask that covers the bottom half of his face which resembles such a jaw but he's far from just.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After returning to Zou and trying to kill Zunisha, Jack and his fleet are sunk by the same elephant they tried to kill when Momonosuke orders the giant elephant to attack.
* LargeAndInCharge: In both his human and mammoth forms, he towers above allies and enemies alike.
* LeeroyJenkins: His response to learning that the fleet escorting Doflamingo to Impel Down has Fujitora and Sengoku (among others) in its ranks? Umbrage at the mere thought of someone thinking that that would be enough to deter him followed by a headlong charge towards the fleet. Predictably, he lost.
* MadeOfIron: Jack fights one-on-one for FIVE days straight against the two strongest warriors (and the rulers) of the Mink Tribe -- one of which Luffy himself praises for his strength-- who alternate every 12 hours to keep themselves fresh in their fight. Eventually, Jack calls in a poison gas attack not because he was in any danger of being defeated, but because he was simply losing his patience. His reappearance in the present shows that it takes no less than an Admiral-level opponent to even injure him, and while he clearly received one hell of a beating and isn't in great shape, he's also not crippled by any means.
** [[spoiler: Even after having his fleet pulverised by Zunisha, he's shown at the bottom of the sea - [[KryptoniteFactor paralysed,]] but still alive!]]
* MadEye: Bloodshot eyes with tiny irises, even when in mammoth form. The anime adds a bit of a twitch to them at times.
* NervesOfSteel: When informed that the prison ship they're after has an admiral and ex-fleet admiral on it, he almost seems insulted at the thought that it would make him change his plans to attack it.
* NeverFoundTheBody: Wanda mentions that his obituary was in the paper saying he was defeated during his raid on Doflamingo's prison ship. However, since the body was never found, Wanda believes he's still alive. She's later proven right, as he later appears alive (though not in great shape), ripping said obituary.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: He may be incredibly impulsive and reckless, but he does ''not'' mess around. Give him what he wants when he wants it or he will make good on his threats.
* NoShirtLongJacket: He wears nothing underneath his fur coat, showcasing his massive upper body, at least in his first appearance.
* OffingTheAnnoyance: Being reasoned with is practically his BerserkButton, such that he'll quickly resort to violence when someone tries to talk him down.
-->'''Jack:''' I didn't come here to talk.
* OhCrap: Along with a [[MassOhCrap collective one with his crew]] when [[spoiler: Zunisha, the elephant that carries Zou, turns to his fleet and rears it trunk up ready to strike them.]] Granted he doesn't panic like his crew does but he knew there was no way he was going to be able to fight ''that''.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Threatens to destroy an entire city. When his bluff is called, he does exactly that.
* RedBaron: "The Drought". He's called such because he leaves the countries he razes in such a pitiful state that it seems like they went through a drought.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: The newspapers earlier reported his death in his clash against Issho, only for him to appear alive and incensed at his reported demise. He's definitely not in very good shape after it, but he did survive.
* {{Sadist}}: Has admitted that he has no good reason for doing most of what he does; he just really enjoys wanton destruction, mass murder, and brutally torturing captives.
* SinisterSchnoz: His mammoth form takes this trope up a notch, actually weaponizing his massive trunk.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Despite his awful temper and incredible penchant for violence, he tends to speak in an even, almost calm tone to his enemies. He even apologizes for his crew's mouthiness.
* SpikesOfVillainy: His fur coat is adorned with spikes.
* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:While for how long is unclear, he was last seen at the bottom of the ocean. While he seems incapable of drowning, being a Devil Fruit user, he also can't move, essentially leaving him imprisoned at the bottom of the ocean with no way to free himself.]]
* StupidEvil: Jack's insatiable bloodthirst and blind faith in his (admittedly impressive) strength lead him to make one terrible decision after another. Right off the bat, when he approaches the Minks demanding Raizo, their offers to help him in his search are met with swift, immediate violence. The possibility that [[spoiler:the Minks ''were'' hiding Raizo and lying to him]] hadn't even been suggested yet.
* SuperDrowningSkills: Standard for a Devil Fruit user. Although this only seems to affect his swimming, as he [[spoiler:survived being drown deep.]]
* SuperpowerLottery: His Devil Fruit is an Ancient Zoan.
* TalkToTheFist: As an old monkey mink is calmly telling Jack that he needs to hear the minks out, Jack responds by smashing his trunk into the Mink crowd before he can even finish his sentence and coldly says they didn't come to talk.
* TomTheDarkLord: An example of it not being PlayedForLaughs. Despite having an unassuming name, what we know about him so far paints him as an extremely vicious and ruthless man.
* TheUnfettered: Absolutely impossible to reason with and will stop at nothing and refuse no measure to accomplish his goals. He doesn't know or care what you want to tell him, he just wants to get shit done and doesn't really give a fuck about how he does it so long as he gets a chance to smash things and kill people.
* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:Luffy and the Straw Hats never actually fight him, at least in Zou Arc, as Zunesha curbstomped him and left him incapacitated in the ocean floor.]]
* VictoryByEndurance: His battle with the Mink tribe lasted for ''five'' days, and though they eventually wore down his crew, they were unable to contain Jack himself. This allowed him to use one of [[MadScientist Caesar's]] DeadlyGas weapons, which won him the fight.
* VillainHasAPoint: Whether it was his instinct or just pure guessing [[spoiler: but he was right that the Minks were hiding Raizo on the island and lying about their denying of seeing him.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He ate a Zoan Devil Fruit that can turn him into a massive mammoth.
* WalkingWasteland: The explanation behind his epithet. Jack's sheer destructive power renders anywhere he rampages like a massive drought was there.
* WarElephants: As revealed in Wanda's story about his attack on Zou, Jack ate a Devil Fruit that makes him a literal example of this (or at least, close enough as his Devil Fruit makes him a Mammoth).
* TheWorfEffect: A rather unconventional application of the trope. After unleashing untold amount of devastation on the Minks and establishing himself as someone to not be messed with, we get to see his two crushing defeats in a row. But the fact it took [[HopelessBossFight sheer overwhelming force]] both times to bring him down, and yet that's still not enough to permanently put him out of the picture only speaks volumes on his threat level.
* WorthyOpponent: He considers Cat Viper and his Guardians "true warriors".
* YouHaveFailedMe: He ''did not'' take well to Sheepshead coming back to him insisting Raizou wasn't on Zou, stringing the man up as punishment for coming back with that excuse.

[[folder: Other Beasts Pirates]]

The savage, powerful crew led by Kaido of the Four Emperors. It is said that this crew contains a specialized army of 500 artificial Zoan users, courtesy of the joint effort of Donquixote Doflamingo and Caesar Clown, who provided the crew with artificial Zoan Devil Fruits called [=SMILEs=].

* BodyHorror: The Gifters division of the crew have random animal body parts sprouting from certain parts of their bodies. In fact, they look like incomplete Zoans. One Gifter can even make his hand into a wolf's head!
* ChainmailBikini[-/-]{{Stripperiffic}}: Ginrummy, a female member, wears nothing but two pieces of armor covering each of her breasts and a thong.
* {{Cyborg}}: "Iron Boy" Scotch is one.
* CoDragons: The three Cataclysms, one of which is Jack, are implied to be this to Kaido.
* EliteMooks: The Gifters division, a group of Artificial Devil Fruit users.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Ginrummy looks visibly disturbed when the rest of the crew says what they're going to do to the elephant once they manage to drop it to its knees.
* GangOfHats: Many members of the crew wear horns or horned helmets on their heads, probably to emulate their captain, [[HornedHumanoid Kaido]].
* HornAttack: Sheepshead, leader of the Gifters, provides a weird case of this trope by turning his ''arms'' into ram horns.
* HornsOfVillainy: The Gifters wear a pair of black horns on their heads.
* MassOhCrap: Jack's crew got this when [[spoiler:Zuneesha's trunk is coming at them.]]
* {{Mooks}}: The Pleasures division, who resemble foot soldiers and unlike the Gifters do not appear to have any animal traits.
* MookLieutenant: Sheepshead is the headliner of the Gifters.
* PerpetualSmiler: The Pleasures group always smiles and laughs, even as they're beaten down by the Minks.
* PlayingCardMotifs: Jack, Sheepshead, Ginrummy and Scotch all share their names with different types of card games.
* RatedMForManly: The crew is chock full of muscular, horned, caped men who all turn into fearsome beasts. It especially stands out in comparison to fellow Emperor's Big Mom's crew.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: Sheepshead and Ginrummy's fate after Zunesha sinks their fleet is unknown, but likely not good, being Devil's Fruit users, and all]].
* WrongContextMagic: The Gifters' Devil Fruits don't seem to work like 'real' Zoans, allowing them to change one limb at a time into something completely different - changing hands into horns or mouths, for instance.

!Whitebeard Pirates

[[folder:Marco "The Phoenix"]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TV_Tropes_-_Marco_4749.png]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/MasakazuMorita (JP), Bill Jenkins (EN, episode 151), Kyle Phillips (EN, episodes 316+)

The first division commander of the crew and arguably Whitebeard's right-hand man, he is first seen when one of Shanks' subordinates delivers a message to Whitebeard, and then later when Shanks himself visits their ship, the Moby Dick. Marco is depicted as a patient, mild-mannered man, but this belies his unfailing devotion to his captain and crew. In the past, he helped Ace get acclimated to the Whitebeard Pirates when he was first brought on board.

He has eaten a rare Mythical Zoan type Devil fruit that allows him to transform into a phoenix, allowing him to regenerate from most injuries. His short skirmishes with the three Marine Admirals during the battle of Marineford indicate his great strength.

* BigBrotherMentor: Marco seemed to fill this position towards Ace. Being the one of the crew members to reach towards Ace and the one that explained the TrueCompanions family dynamic the Whitebeard Pirates. He also has shades of BigBrotherInstinct as when a dismayed Ace screamed at his family why where they virtually sacrificing themselves for him, Marco, normally TheStoic, ''roars'' back everyone needed to know that NOBODY messed with a member of their family, and the Marines would learn that lesson, the ''hard way''.
* BreakoutCharacter: He jumped from 122nd place to 12th place from the fourth to fifth popularity poll.
* ExtremityExtremist: Every one of his attacks so far have been kicks. Justified given that transforming even into his hybrid form deprives him of arms.
* FauxFlame: WordOfGod states that his flames don't burn or spread like normal flames, instead they're what allows him to heal.
* {{Flight}}: Thanks to his Devil Fruit, and one of the very few characters in One Piece who can.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Taking hits and instantly recovering is a large part of his fighting style.
* HealingFactor: Being a phoenix and all, his flames will instantly heal any wound he suffers, which even includes being pierced by lasers. Ultimately, though he still feels pain, it puts him close to being a Logia.
* KiAttacks: A confirmed user of Haki.
* LightningBruiser: Fast enough to catch Kizaru off-guard and strong enough to kick him square into a wall from a lengthy distance
* NiceGuy: Very polite and friendly to all of his allies. During the War of the Best, he was even a good enough sport to have some sarcastic banter with Kizaru before the situation got ''really'' serious.
* NighInvulnerable: He's not a Logia, but this power is kind of a given when you're a phoenix... although, unlike a Logia, he can't defend himself automatically; he needs to actively use his blue flames to heal after taking the hit. However, since he can actually heal from injuries and not just have attacks phase through him, he's considerably more invulnerable than a mere logia.
* NumberTwo: He appears to be Whitebeard's right-hand man, giving and relaying orders to everyone until Whitebeard himself entered the fight and then assuming leadership of the Whitebeard Pirates after their Captain's death.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He's probably in his late 40s at least, although he looks like he'd be in his 20s.
* ThePhoenix: His Mythical Zoan devil fruit lets him turn into one.
* RedHerringShirt: In his first appearance, he was drawn really blocky, and was colored [[StylisticSuck messily,]] implying he was but a lowly {{Mook}}. Skip to [[WarArc Marineford]], and, [[ArtEvolution well...]]
* SlasherSmile: He's seen sporting one at the beginning of the war.
* SubmissiveBadass: Despite being one of the strongest characters in the series, he was completely devoted to Whitebeard.
* SuperpowerLottery: A clear winner, in that a Mythical Zoan fruit is even rarer than a Logia. His mythical fruit in particular is especially quite the prize, as it gives him aspects common to ''all three Devil Fruit types''.[[note]] He can generate flames like a Logia, heal himself like a Paramecia, and has the shape shifting abilities common to all Zoans [[/note]]
* TakeUpMySword: For the BigGood Whitebeard. Unfortunately, [[spoiler: his first campaign as de facto Captain didn't go well, as the remainder of his crew was crushed by Blackbeard and implied to have disbanded shortly thereafter]].
* TattooedCrook: He has Whitebeard's sign tattooed across his chest. Subverted, as he's a good guy.
* TechnicolorFire: Blue (''and'' yellow in the anime).
* VerbalTic: He tends to end his sentences in "yoi".
* WalkingShirtlessScene: The unbuttoned-top kind.
* YouShallNotPass: [[spoiler:After Ace dies, Marco leads all of the remaining Whitebeard Pirates Commanders into an epic example of this trope against Akainu, in order to protect a mentally-shattered Luffy]].

[[folder:"Fire Fist" Ace]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-portgas_d__ace_anime_infobox_4026.png]]
-> ''The name of this era is "Whitebeard"!''
-->Child Voice: Creator/DaisukeSakaguchi (JP), Chris Burnett (EN)
-->Adult Voice: Creator/ToshioFurukawa (JP), Jesse Hooker (EN, 4Kids), Creator/TravisWillingham (EN, Funi), Roberto Mendiola (Latin American Spanish)

Portgas D. Ace is Luffy's older brother by way of adoption, and the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, the strongest pirate crew in the world. Like his younger brother, he is a BigEater and a HeavySleeper, but unlike his brother, he is intelligent, polite, and gracious, much to the surprise of the Straw Hats when they first met him. He is somewhat protective of Luffy, and looks forward to meeting him on the high seas as pirates. However, his different family name hints at something else... times TWO. As it turns out, Portgas D. Rouge was his mother only, and his father was actually Gold Roger. He ate the Flame-Flame Fruit (''Mera Mera no Mi''), allowing him to create, control and transform into fire.

He had a bounty of 550,000,000 Berries. He still holds one record for his bounty, having the highest Non-Active bounty in the series.

* TheAce: [[PunnyName Aside from the obvious]], pretty much every character he's been shown interacting with, from the Straw Hats, to Whitebeard, to Jimbei, and even Blackbeard, have mentioned what an exceptional and great guy he is. At the same time, he could be considered a...
* AloofBigBrother: You wouldn't know it from their current relationship, but he was this to Luffy when they were younger.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To Luffy [[spoiler:until his death.]] Luffy never resented him for it -- if anything, he idolized his big brother, seeing as Ace served as his protector and caretaker soon after they first met until Ace left to become a pirate.
* ArtEvolution: While his body remained surprisingly consistent (considering the amount of proportion changes many other characters went through over the years as Oda's style became less cartoony), Ace's face in his modern appearances is drastically different from early One Piece. His jaw is less angular, his eyes aren't as slanted, his mouth is smaller and more realistic, his ears are smaller, and most significantly, his [[BigOlEyebrows bushy eyebrows]] (which were once a noticeable and defining trait) were entirely trimmed down.
* BadassInDistress: After getting captured by Blackbeard and handed over the the World Government, he becomes the focal point for a huge battle as the government publicly announces his execution and provokes Whitebeard into attacking them. Luffy and others also get involved, thus invoking an epic RescueArc as Luffy journeys to [[TheAlcatraz Impel Down]] to rescue him.
* BashBrothers: Ace and Luffy in Marineford kicking ass together. Admit it, you ''always'' wanted to see this since he was introduced.
** One the fillers in the anime (the episode just after Ace was introduced) had the two briefly busting heads against some of the Billons.
** Also in Chapter 584, a young Ace and Sabo took on the Bluejam Pirates to rescue a young Luffy.
* BastardAngst: Ace is the bastard son of [[spoiler:Pirate King Gold Roger]], and as such he has a big stigma put on him. All his life he always wonders whether he deserves to be born because of this.
* BerserkButton: Insult or harm anyone he cares about about and he won't hesitate to drop you. [[spoiler: Unfortunately this trait leads straight to his downfall, [[AllForNothing wasting the effort Luffy and his comrades put into saving him]]]].
* BigBrotherInstinct: While he was going to kill Blackbeard anyway for killing Thatch, it was [[BerserkButton his plan to kill Luffy as well]] that [[TranquilFury really ticked him off]].
* BigBrotherMentor: Fills this role exceptionally.
* BloodBrothers: [[spoiler:With Luffy and Sabo. None of them were related of course, but they were very close and even made a ceremony of drinking sake and became brothers. Ace made it his mission in life to adhere to Sabo's last wishes and protect their mutual younger brother, eventually to the cost of his own life. [[TearJerker Heartbreakingly]], he died without ever knowing that his other brother was alive.]]
* BornWinner: Ace had incredible potential, even awakening Conquerer's Haki as a child, [[spoiler:due to being the son of the Pirate King, Gold Roger]]. Luffy also had this potential due to his own heritage, but it took longer to show. On the other hand, Luffy was also far more emotionally stable than Ace.
* BreakoutCharacter: The sixth most popular and the most popular deceased character in the roster.
* BrokenAce: AccidentalPun aside, he wasn't the most self-respecting guy. He always wondered whether he had the right to be alive, due to being the son of the Pirate King.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Ace's belt has the letter A on the buckle.
* CharacterDevelopment: There's a lot behind that friendly face that you wouldn't expect. Just trace his backstory from him as a child to a rookie on Whitebeard's crew to how he is now.
* CoolBigBro: He's Luffy's [[spoiler: adoptive]] older brother, and they're very close friends.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Other than the obvious death of Sabo, Ace had a ton of angst over whether or not he should have been born, just because he had the blood of the Pirate King running through his veins. Ultimately, the answer to this question is what ''he'' desired in this life.]]
* DeadHatShot: The last shot we get during his fight with Blackbeard in Banaro Island is his hat on the ground, upside-down. It doesn't signify his death, though [[spoiler:- at least, at first.]]
* {{Determinator}}: Other than continuing to fight Blackbeard, he tried to kill ''Whitebeard''. And even when most people wouldn't even go after his sons, he made at least ''a hundred attempts on his life''. Granted, he failed every time, but it sure takes balls to do that. He later became one of Whitebeard's most loyal commanders.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler: He dies in Luffy's arms.]]
* DrivingQuestion: [[spoiler: Not for the plot, but for him. Ace's angst over his bloodline lead him to keep on living in order to find the answer to this one question: [[TearJerker Did he deserve to be born?]]]]
* DubNameChange: Known as "Trace" in the 4Kids dub.
* ElementalPunch: The Fire Fist, his SignatureMove and where he got his title from.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: He was quite strong even as a child, to the point of taking down Bluejam with only Dadan at his side. The Flame Flame fruit only made him more of a badass.
* FatalFlaw: Just like Luffy, it's wrath. He couldn't stand Blackbeard getting away with murdering Thatch, so he left to hunt him down against the advice of all of the other crew-mates, which resulted in his capture. Immediately after being rescued, Ace once again ignores everyone else's wishes by stopping to fight Akainu, [[HonorBeforeReason simply because Akainu had insulted the Whitebeard Pirates.]] [[spoiler:At that point, it's a ''literally'' fatal flaw.]]
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Even if this wasn't always the case, Ace fits firmly in the latter category.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:His name and the fact he was captain of the Spade Pirates: the "Ace of Spades", which means death. Guess what happens to a certain ''major'' character?]]
* GenerationXerox: Funny how even though he has stated to hate his father, he became an infamous and powerful pirate by himself, even turning down the offer of Warlord of the Sea. Subverted that [[spoiler:he wasn't continuing Roger's legacy, but rather serving under Roger's [[TheRival rival]], Whitebeard as a commander.]]
** According to Garp, Ace is more similar to [[spoiler:Roger]] than ''Luffy'', of all people, who's constantly compared to him!
** Also, the fact that Ace [[HonorBeforeReason never backs down from a fight]] was revealed to be a trait that [[spoiler:Roger]] also had, and for the same reasons. Guess it really is InTheBlood.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler: As any true D. would. He died happy knowing that despite the bad blood in his veins, despite being a "good-for-nothing", he was truly loved. Heartwarming, yet utterly tearjerking.]]
* HairstyleInertia: Like Luffy, his hair looked exactly the same his entire life. In Ace's case, it even looked the same when he was a baby.
* HeroicBastard: Considering who his father was, it didn't pay for his mother to announce who her baby daddy was.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: [[spoiler:If you cut out all the angst he had about being Roger's son]], his childhood was this if Luffy's was anything to go by. Note that Ace is just as scared of Garp as Luffy is, and would only stand up to him when it came to Luffy and his dream of being of a pirate. [[TrainingFromHell Not that anyone can blame him]].
* HonorBeforeReason: He could have escaped Marineford alive [[spoiler: had he not gone back to fight Akainu after he [[BerserkButton insulted Whitebeard]]]].
* HotBlooded: Played with. Contrary to what one might expect, despite his [[PlayingWithFire ample firepower]] he is one of the more cool-headed characters in the story. That is, unless, you murder one of his TrueCompanions or threaten to hurt his little brother...
* {{Hunk}}: He may be on the lean side, but he's definitely a hunk given his muscular build that would make any man jealous. The fact that he is often seen without a shirt highlights his powerful figure. In and out of universe, he is popular with women.
* IHaveNoSon: Inverted. Ace totally disavows ''his birth father'', using his mother's name and claiming Whitebeard is the only father he has. [[spoiler:His dad was dead before he was born, anyway]].
* ILetGwenStacyDie: [[spoiler: Could be this for Luffy, as Akainu's RocketPunch was [[TakingTheBullet meant for him]] and the reason why he got handed over to the Marines is because Blackbeard was coming for Luffy, but Ace got to him first.]]
* KiAttacks: Capable of using the King's Ambition Haki.
* KilledOffForReal: Breaking the rule of "nobody dies outside of flashbacks", Ace dies in the climax of [[spoiler:the war at Marineford at the hands of Akainu]]. The moment includes the complete destruction of his Vivre Card and a ReallyDeadMontage, to boot.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[spoiler: He was this to Luffy and even an [[AmnesiacHero amnesiac]] Sabo, who were crushed by his death. Luffy, however, takes it worse than Sabo as he temporarily gives up on his dreams after his AngstComa and needs Jimbei's help to recover, while Sabo is able to pull himself together after entering his ''own'' AngstComa.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[EpilepticTrees As many fans theorized]], Ace is [[spoiler:''not'' directly related to the Monkey family]]. He is in fact [[spoiler:''Gold Roger's'' son]]. It is somewhat a variant from the standard deliverance in that Ace already knew [[spoiler:who his biological father was]], and so did Luffy for that matter. In fact, the only reason this fact hadn't come out earlier is because [[YouDidntAsk nobody bothered to ask]].]]
* MenDontCry: Ace would always try to remind the young Luffy of this trope, [[ManlyTears but couldn't back his own tears]] when he read Sabo's last letter to Luffy and himself.
* MrFanservice: [[WalkingShirtlessScene Permanently shirtless]]. ''Permanently''. In the anime his fight with Blackbeard includes some pretty gratuitous shots of his toned back and chest.
* NiceGuy: He is more polite and (slightly) more emotionally mature than Luffy. Although he [[CharacterDevelopment didn't start that way]].
* NiceHat: He wore a red beaded necklace and an orange hat with two blue smileys, one frowning and one smiling, and a string of red beads sitting above the rim. Two long orange side straps hung down sides of his hat and met at a large medallion of a bull's skull with orange tassels.
* NighInvulnerable: Ate a Logia Devil Fruit, so natch. Too bad he had to face someone who could [[BroughtDownToNormal nullify]] that, then someone with [[ElementalRockPaperScissors a superior element]].
* NomDeMom: He uses his mother's name instead of his father's, feeling he owes her greatly while the fact of who his father is has caused him nothing but grief. [[spoiler:It also served the purpose of protecting himself from his father's enemies, especially the World Government and the Marines]].
* NotQuiteSavedEnough: [[spoiler:Mere moments after he was freed from his restrains in Marineford, he went on the escape, only to be goaded by Akainu into fighting him despite Luffy, Whitebeard and the crew's pleas against it, and he got magma-fisted to shield Luffy from Akainu.]]
* OneManArmy: He took out multiple Marine ships with one attack, with no effort.
* OrnamentalWeapon: He carries dagger on his belt that he's never actually been shown using outside of a flashback.
* PlayingWithFire: Thanks to the Flame-Flame logia fruit.
* PowerOfTheSun: His ultimate attack, Great Flame Commandment: Flame Emperor, looks like he's throwing a miniature ([[FantasticNuke relatively speaking]]) star at his target.
* ThePromise:
** He made one with Luffy when they were children to go out to sea and live their lives free of regrets. [[spoiler:As Ace laid dying in Luffy's arms, he stated the only regret he had is that he wouldn't be able to see Luffy accomplish his dream of becoming the Pirate King]].
** He also made a promise to Luffy that he would never die and leave Luffy alone [[spoiler:after Sabo's "death". As the above can tell you, it was a promise not even he could keep]].
* RedBaron: Gains the epithet of "Fire-Fist", due to the infamy of his SignatureMove and his considerable destructive capabilities with his powers.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Him being Roger's son]] is a shocker.
* RoyalBlood: The Marines believe he has it, and Sengoku is convinced that Whitebeard thinks so as well.
* RunningGag: His {{Sleepyhead}} trait, plus constantly pulling a dine-and-dash.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Ace was the first major character to die on screen. His death served, literally, as the turning point of the series.]]
* SadClown: Ace is a pretty jovial guy, much like Luffy. [[spoiler:And just like Luffy, he's got a lot of hidden insecurities. He spent his entire life thinking that he didn't deserve to be born thanks to the World Government stigmatizing anyone born with the 'D' initials in their name]].
* SinsOfOurFathers: [[spoiler:He is the son of Pirate King Gol D. Roger and was hunted by the World Government even before he was born in an attempt to rid the world of the 'D' bloodline. To the world, Ace's first and greatest crime was ''being born''. No wonder he had so much angst about it]].
* {{Sleepyhead}}: He's got a RunningGag of falling asleep at random intervals and making everyone around him panic. [[spoiler:Even if he isn't related by blood,]] this trait probably runs in the family.
* TheStarscream: Ace used to be this to Whitebeard. In all fairness to Ace, though, Whitebeard did recruit him by outright kidnapping both him and his crew. Now he's totally loyal to Whitebeard, who apparently has been grooming Ace to be his successor.
* SubmissiveBadass: Despite being introduced as someone who was far stronger than Luffy, he chose to serve under Whitebeard to make him PirateKing.
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Took a very fatal hit from Akainu, meant for Luffy]].
* TattooedCrook:
** His arm has "ASCE" inked on it, with the S crossed out. Apparently, the tattoo artist couldn't spell. On a non-embarrassing note, his back proudly displays the Whitebeard Pirate crossbones ([[NoSwastikas formerly a Manji before editors told Oda to change it]]).
** It was later revealed that the crossed-out S in the ASCE tattoo wasn't a mistake. An S with an X through it was [[spoiler:Sabo's Jolly Roger]]. Oda later drew a "what if" picture of [[spoiler:Luffy, Ace, and Sabo together as adults, and Ace's name was spelled correctly on his tattoo.]]
* TooDumbToLive: Because responding to an enemy's taunt in the middle of a war despite your comrades telling you to ignore it and keep running [[SarcasmMode is a clever idea indeed]].
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler:Played with, as he had a [[TheWoobie troubled childhood due to being the child of Roger and the world hating his father]], with the World Goverment's Absolute Justice doctrine stating that [[InTheBlood even the child of a world-renowned criminal is a threat]]. He even [[GenerationXerox took up a life of piracy because of it]]. However, if you'd met him, he was a well-meaning, easy-going, polite and friendly guy (if a little mischievous). He was arguably kinder than even ''Luffy''. The world he lived in didn't give him much of a chance to live]].
* TookALevelInKindness: Before they were even brothers, Ace had a noteworthy NightmareFace to anyone else except Sabo, and tried to kill Luffy many times (but hilariously failing). It was after interacting with Luffy, and Sabo's 'death' that Ace decides to become a kind older brother to Luffy who was grieving over Sabo, and the man he is today.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: His hotheaded decision to lash out against Akainu for insulting Whitebeard and ignore his crewmates' pleas for him to run made him lose his only chance of escaping with his life, left Luffy vulnerable for a lethal attack, and [[spoiler:necessitated the act of sacrificing himself.]]
* TragicHero: Despite all of his achievements, [[spoiler:he ultimately gets captured, brought to execution, and right after he was freed, he got murdered. He was, at least, happy with everyone he's been close with (especially Luffy) and then [[GoOutWithASmile Went Out With a Smile]].]]
* UndyingLoyalty: Has an extreme devotion to Whitebeard. [[FatalFlaw This trait]] ultimately ends up getting [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]], taking Blackbeard's betrayal of Whitebeard as a personal insult to his honor and takes the bait when Akainu insults Whitebeard. The former gets Ace captured by the marines and serves as the catalayst of the Marineford War. [[spoiler: The latter results in his death.]]
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He rarely, if ever, wears a shirt.
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: If you're new to One Piece and get curious about what's happened as of late and decide to peek ahead a little, it's almost impossible to dig too deep into the Straw Hats separation and the TimeSkip without piecing together that Ace dies.]]
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** In-universe: He was given an invitation by the World Government to join the Seven Warlords Of The Sea. He, of course, declined.
** Although it's never outright confirmed, there are some hints that Whitebeard was grooming him to be his successor.
* WhenHeSmiles: You know that it's a big step forward for him when he cracks that big, adorable grin at Luffy and Sabo when they were kids (keeping in mind that Ace didn't have much reason to do so to anyone else).
* TheWorfEffect: Despite being hailed as one of the greatest warriors in the world (see above) his main role in the series has boiled down to being a stepping stone for Blackbeard and a convenient excuse to demonstrate Blackbeard's power. [[spoiler: Then after being set free and kicking ass for about two chapters, he's instantly defeated by Akainu by jumping in front of him to protect Luffy, taking the worst injury ever seen in the series so far]].
* WorldsBestWarrior: Although there are still a number of characters that are stronger than him (Whitebeard, Akainu, Blackbeard to name a few), Ace is set up as one of the strongest characters in the series from a story standpoint;
** During his introduction, he displays considerable destructive power by destroying a fleet of ships in comparison to Luffy who is still a new pirate on the Grand Line.
** He is already a commander on the strongest pirate crew in the series(at that point).
** There are a few hints that Whitebeard was grooming him to be a successor.
* WorthLivingFor: [[spoiler:Ace's angst over his bloodline was so bad that the only reason he kept on living was to find out whether or not he deserved to be born. He found his answer when his brothers and eventually, the Whitebeard Pirates came into his life, having finally realized where his place in life is. That just makes his death all the more tragic.]]
* WreathedInFlames: Naturally he can cover himself in fire or become it.
* YouthfulFreckles: He actually doesn't fall into any of the archetypes though he fit the BrattyHalfPint type like a glove when he was a kid.

[[folder:"Diamond" Jozu]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TV_Tropes_-_Jozu_8994.png]]

-->Voiced by: Creator/TakashiNagasako (JP), Matt Thurston (EN)

Jozu, the third division commander, first made his appearance when Shanks' subordinate delivered a message to Whitebeard. When Shanks later came to meet them in person, Jozu commented on his immense Haki, but is shown being unaffected himself. Though he has a stern disposition, he has great devotion towards his crewmates and captain.

It is later revealed that Jozu ate a Devil Fruit that enables him to turn his entire body into diamond, making him very difficult to hurt. He also possesses immense physical strength, being able to pick up and hurl an entire iceberg towards his adversaries.
-----
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Loses an arm to Aokiji.]]
* TheBigGuy: One of the tallest guys in the main Whitebeard Pirate crew (aside from the big man himself), and with the strength to match.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Portrayed as the 3rd in command of the crew after Whitebeard and Marco, and appropriately he is one of 3 people in the series thus far to make an Admiral bleed.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: While he ''does'' have Devil Fruit powers, they should not affect his physical strength. Despite this, he is shown lifting and tossing a huge iceberg many hundreds of times his size.
* KiAttacks: Can use Armament haki.
* LightningBruiser: He's well over 20 feet tall, but is incredibly fast.
* NighInvulnerable: Not to the same extent as other characters, but he ''is'' literally {{made of diamond}}
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Jozu? Jose? Joss? Jaws? The One Piece Green: Secret Pieces book finally confirms this with just Jozu.
* TheWorfEffect: Despite showing capable of blocking one of Mihawk's slashes and wounding Crocodile with a punch, he is quickly 'controlled' for a period by Doflamingo and then quickly removed from the Marineford War in quick order to Aokiji, as the battle moves to the plaza.
* TopHeavyGuy: His legs are much shorter and smaller in comparison to his upper body.

[[folder:"Flower Sword" Vista]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TV_Tropes_-_Vista_5799.png]]

-->Voiced by: Creator/MasayaOnosaka (JP), Hunter Barnett (EN)

Vista, the fifth division commander, makes his appearance during Ace's flashback, and subsequently during the Marineford arc. Always calm and polite, he doesn't seem to have consumed a Devil Fruit, but is among the most skilled swordsmen in the world, as he was able to engage in a skirmish with Dracule Mihawk during the war and emerge unscathed.

* AlmightyJanitor: Although his rank is fairly high, he is quite modest, and it's quite surprising to see him [[spoiler:fight on par with Mihawk, strongest of all swordsmen]].
%%* BadassMustache
* BadassNormal: He doesn't appear to have any Devil Fruit abilities, but he's still an extremely powerful swordsman, enough so that he can go toe-to-toe with Mihawk; while it was clear that neither of them were taking the fight seriously, Mihawk did state that any swordsman worth their salt would know who Vista was.
* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:He is not happy when Blackbeard comes to Marineford, and has to be pushed back from going after him]].
%%* CarpetOfVirility
* DastardlyWhiplash: Surprisingly, actually on a good character.
* DualWielding: He wields two swords in battle.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the anime, Vista comments that [[spoiler:the dream of every swordsman is to cross blades with Mihawk]].
* KiAttacks: A confirmed Haki user.
* MasterSwordsman: You have to be when [[spoiler:you can go toe-to-toe with the world's best swordsman and get him to recognize how strong you are, especially since said swordsman is normally so jaded due to the weakness of his enemies.]]
* NiceHat: A rather dapper black top hat.
* NumberTwo: Seems to be this to Marco. Though by this point in the story, he was the highest level Division Commander that was still in fighting condition besides Marco.
* PetalPower: In the anime, rose petals appear when he attacks.
** He even unleashes a small barrage of them in an attack known as "Rose Rondo." Mihawk was certainly stunned for a moment before deflecting the attack.
** We see it once more when he attacks Akainu. The petals actually end up knocking globs of Akainu's magma body off, indicating they are quite dangerous.
* RedBaron: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] as "Flower Sword" isn't much for intimidation.
* SomethingAboutARose: He's named "Flower Sword" for a reason: he produces flower petals during some of his attacks.
* TopHeavyGuy: His torso is not overly massive compared to his legs, but there's still a noticeable difference.
* YouShallNotPass: [[spoiler:Alongside his fellow Commander and Captain allies on making sure Akainu does not go kill Luffy]].

[[folder: Other Division Commanders, Members and Allies]]
[[quoteright:251:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Shirohige_7551.jpg]]

The following characters listed are the less-important division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates: Thatch (4th, killed by Blackbeard prior to the main storyline), Blamenco (6th), Rakuyo (7th), Namur (8th), Blenheim (9th), Curiel (10th), Kingdew (11th), Haruta (12th), Atmos (13th), Speed Jiru (14th), Fossa (15th) & Izo (16th).

Also included are the more prominent ally captains to the crew such as "Bohemian Knight" Doma, "Thunder Lord" [=McGuy=], "Little" Oars Jr., Epoida, the Decalvan Brothers & "Ice Witch" Whitey Bay. For "Maelstrom Spider" Squardo, a prominent ally, please see his entry on the [[Characters/OnePieceOthers Others]] page.

After the TimeSkip, the Blackbeard Pirates have succeeded them as one of the crews of the Four Emperors, but the exact fate of the crew is not elaborated on.

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Oars Jr.
* BadassCrew: They are the trope image for a ''very'' good reason! They're subordinates of Whitebeard, so you can expect nothing less.
* {{Bishonen}}: Izo.
* BladeOnAStick: Speed Jiru uses a Lance. Also Epoida amongst the allied captains.
* CatGirl: The Decalvan Brothers are male versions of this trope.
* CreepyCentipedes: It seems that Epoida ate a Devil Fruit that allow him to become a caterpillar man.
* CurbStompBattle / FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: Oars Jr is shot with cannonballs several times in a row, is hit by Kuma's [[NukeEm Ursus Shock]], has his leg sliced by [[RazorFloss Doflamingo]] and is ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice by Moria's [[CastingAShadow shadow spear.]] [[spoiler: However, he still has enough strength to get back on his foot one last time in order to help Whitebeard.]]
* DeathByOriginStory: Thatch.
* DropTheHammer: Blamenco is only seen wielding a [[{{BFS}} massive]] wooden Hammer than anything else from his pockets.
* DualWielding: Many people seems to indulge into this fighting style. Apparently Thatch did so.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Izo, but ''especially'' Haruta. He looks so feminine that until Oda stated in an SBS that no female members of the main Whitebeard Pirate crew took action during the war at Marineford, many a fan was confused about his gender when they didn't outright mistake him for a girl, including on ThisVeryWiki.
* EpicFlail: Rakuyou sports a Ball-and-Chain that (seems) to be a LivingWeapon like Lassoo & Funkfreed.
* FlamingSword: Fossa can set his sword on Fire & [=McGuy=] can also channel Lighting into his.
* GagNose: [=McGuy=].
* GratuitousItalian: Fossa means "Pit", and is also a colloquial/informal term for "grave". Among the lesser captains we have also Brocca (Jug).
* TheGunslinger: Curiel & Izou.
* {{Hammerspace}}: This is literally Blamenco's power, as he has pockets on his body he can pull stuff out of, like, you guessed it, a Hammer.
* HeadPet: Doma has a pet Monkey that can [[RuleOfCool use a Pistol to help him fight]].
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Izou managed to snap a sword in half while it was about to cut him with a single blow.
* LargeAndInCharge: Blenheim, Atmos and Little Oars Jr.
* LightningBruiser: Speed Jiru earns his nickname: in the anime he managed to keep up with Kizaru's attacks with ease.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Speed Jiru also uses a Shield with his Lance to fight.
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler: Curiel took a point-blank attack from Admiral Akainu and lived]].
* MasterSwordsman: Quite a few of them are quite skilled in swordsmanship. Haruta can even cut Steel like Zoro can with ease. Special mention to 'Flower Sword' Vista, who's master enough to cross swords with ''Mihawk'', and even Mihawk made a remark that he'd be a fool if he did not know Vista.
* MightyGlacier: Oars Jr. is very strong, but his size puts him at a disadvantage.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: One of the lesser captains, Karma, is a octopus-themed pirate with six arms. Probably a [[HalfHumanHybrid fishman-hybrid of some sort.]]
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Rakuyou looks a lot like a muscular [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Jack Sparrow]] & Kingdew looks like [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse He-Man]].
** Also Rakuyou's flail resembles one of the Chain Chomps from the SuperMario series.
* NonIndicativeName: Little Oars Jr. is one of the biggest characters in this series and the second-biggest in the Marineford War (to Sanjuan Wolf). He's even bigger than Oars Sr.!
* NowThatsUsingYourTeeth: Namur, in a Anime-only scene, destroyed a Marine's Battle Axe by grabbing it with his teeth and crushing the head.
* PowerFist: Kingdew wields massive gauntlets.
* RealMenWearPink: Izo.
* RedBaron: Many pirates have a nickname.
* ReverseGrip: Doma wields his two swords like this.
* SacrificialLion: The circumstances around Thatch's death are going to be felt even to the end of the series.
* StoutStrength: Both Atmos, Blamenco & Oars Jr. are pretty hefty, but strong.
* ThreateningShark: Namur the Tigershark fishman.
* TokenMinority: Namur is the only commander who's not human, being a [[FishPeople Fishman]] instead.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Whitey Bay is never seen after her introduction for the rest of the Arc.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Izo is dressed as a geisha.
* WolverineClaws: The Decalven Brothers.
* TheWorfEffect: One of the allies, AO was defeated off-screen by Whitebeard Jr. Admiral Kizaru also mentioned that 16 former captains allied with Whitebeard were easily defeated by him as well.
* YourSizeMayVary: Speed Jiru is shown tall and slim in one panel and fatter in another one. It's unknown if it's a simple mistake or if he has some powers.

!Beasts Pirates

[[folder: Jack "The Drought"]]
[[quoteright:270:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jack_anime_infobox.png]]

-> '' I didn't come here to talk.''

-->Voiced by: Creator/KenjiNomura

One of the three "Calamities" that serve as Kaido's executive enforcers, Jack has ties to the Underworld and is known for his savagery, proclivity to violence, and recklessness. First mentioned at the end of Punk Hazard, we catch a glimpse of the man as he decides to rescue a recently defeated Donquixote Doflamingo from a Marine escort. He's responsible for leveling Kararu city in the country of Zou. He ate the Elephant-Elephant Fruit (''Zou Zou no Mi''), Model: Mammoth, an Ancient Zoan fruit.

He is notable for being the first person revealed in the series to have a bounty exceeding 9 digits, having a bounty of one ''billion'' berries.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: He's utterly enormous, has shark-like fangs, might have horns and can apparently [[spoiler:survive just fine at the bottom of the sea. All of which suggests he may be a Fishman or has Fishman blood.]]
* AndIMustScream: He's conscious under the water but, as a Devil Fruit user, is completely unable to move. So, [[spoiler:following his ships' attack on Zunesha, he's simply alive and paralyzed down there with no way out by himself.]]
* AnimalMotif: The figurehead of his ship features an elephant's tusks, relating to his power.
* ApparentlyHumanMerfolk: Chapter 824 reveals Jack very much alive [[spoiler:on the ocean floor]], which can explain his unbelievable strength and resilience. As [[spoiler:an apparent Fishman, he can breathe underwater]]. As a Devil Fruit user, he is powerless to do anything else until someone pulls him out.
* AxCrazy: To an almost suicidal degree. He mainly does all the damage he does to the Mink's kingdom because he ''enjoys'' destroying things.
* BadBoss: Subverted. His insatiable lust for violence leads him to order his crew into situations that they would have been better off avoiding and his subordinates have been put on edge by his explosive temper before, but they're also every bit as bloodthirsty and battle-crazed as he is and have no problem following him, even when the fight is one that he didn't need to start.
* BloodKnight: As he said himself, he loves to bring destruction.
* BraidsOfBarbarism: He has two long strands of braided hair that dangle from his sides.
* BullyingADragon: Has a habit of picking incredibly difficult fights, even if he doesn't have to:
** We first see him about to attack the prison convoy taking Doflamingo to prison. As it was guarded by one Admiral, one former Fleet Admiral and several Vice-Admirals, he was beaten.
** Before even that, he waged war on the Mink Tribe, even when they offered to let him peacefully search their homes for what he wanted. The Minks were so tough that eventually Jack had to use a gas weapon from Caesar Clown to break the stalemate.
** Ultimately, this is how Jack meets his first complete defeat; he decides to [[spoiler:kill Zunesha the elephant itself]] to wipe out the Minks. As it turns out, [[spoiler:antagonizing an elephant so large that the people living on it are like ants]] is a [[HopelessBossFight really]], [[CurbStompBattle really]] [[LaserGuidedKarma bad idea.]]
* CoDragons: With two other, as-yet-unidentified, people as the "Calamities" to Kaido.
* ColdBloodedTorture: A flashback shows him personally torturing a mink for information, and in the wake of his rampage there are dozens of torture racks set up across Zou.
* CombatPragmatist: What does he do when the Mink Tribe are tougher then he thought? Use one of Caesar's poison gas weapons on them.
* CoolSword: He wields two swords that are [[OddlyShapedSword almost helical, similar to a mammoth's tusks]]. The sheaths for these swords even look like tusks at first glance. [[spoiler: He uses these swords to lop off Cat Viper's arm and Dogstorm's leg while he's torturing them.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Towards his crew members, such as calling his lookout a dumbass for pointing out the blatantly obvious fact that a several mile high elephant is in view.
* {{Determinator}}: Jack cannot be reasoned with. ''At all''. When he sets a goal, there is no amount of convincing or unforeseen factors that's going to keep him from doing what he sets out to do. In fact, merely attempting to bargain with Jack seems to infuriate him.
* TheDreaded: Renowned for his brutality, ruthlessness, complete unwillingness to bargain or compromise, and the absolutely incredible amount of destruction that follows him. The fact that he has a bounty of ''one billion Berries'' (''the'' second highest seen in the series so far) says volumes about how serious a threat he is.
* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: Jack is ''mercilessly'' violent and absolutely savages the Mink civilization on Zou to the point of bringing it to near total oblivion. After sending waves of men to level the city, he uses a chemical weapon to incapacitate the remaining fighters before having the mink leaders dragged out to a public square, where they're crucified and dismembered for information.
* FangsAreEvil: [[spoiler:When Zunesha smashes his ship]], his mask breaks, revealing a mouth full of fangs.
* HairTriggerTemper: Notoriously unstable and quick to anger and extremely prone to violence.
* HonorableElephant: Jack is a complete [[AvertedTrope aversion]], as he is a vicious, cruel and short-tempered brute and is also notorious for being completely impossible to reason or bargain with.
* HopelessBossFight: This was the ''only'' reason why he failed to bail Doflamingo out; it doesn't matter how powerful you are, taking on an Admiral, an ex-Fleet Admiral, and three Vice Admirals at the same time is something that only a small handful of people in the One Piece world can do with anything resembling a reasonable expectation of success. He didn't have one and didn't care, and the results were very predictable.
** [[spoiler: We didn't know it at the time, but his assault on Zunesha was also this. One-billion berry bounty or not, what's one man and his grunt soldiers to a colossal, ''island-sized elephant'' dropping the full weight of its trunk on them at once?]]
* HornedHumanoid: Possesses a set of horns akin to Kaido's.
* {{Irony}}:
** For all the violence, brutality, torture, and devastation he brought upon the Mink Tribe, [[spoiler: it turns out that the Minks ''were'' harboring Raizou.]]
** His Mammoth Zoan means that he towers over his opponents, and he's introduced demolishing a building with one blow from his trunk. [[spoiler: Zunesha does exactly the same to him and his crew.]]
** Despite being nicknamed "the Drought," [[spoiler: he can survive underwater.]]
* InsaneEqualsViolent: The two words that people have consistently used to describe Jack are ‘insane’ and ‘monster’.
* TheJuggernaut: Monstrously powerful and durable and possesses seemingly inexhaustible stamina. His patience is exhaustible, though - which is what the Minks are trying to exploit. He ''can'' be stopped (as the results of his fight with the fleet escorting Doflamingo demonstrated), but the fact that it took [[HopelessBossFight two Admiral-level fighters and three Vice Admirals]] to whoop his ass says volumes about how inexorable the man truly is.
* LanternJawOfJustice: Inverted. In his human form, he wears a mask that covers the bottom half of his face which resembles such a jaw but he's far from just.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After returning to Zou and trying to kill Zunisha, Jack and his fleet are sunk by the same elephant they tried to kill when Momonosuke orders the giant elephant to attack.
* LargeAndInCharge: In both his human and mammoth forms, he towers above allies and enemies alike.
* LeeroyJenkins: His response to learning that the fleet escorting Doflamingo to Impel Down has Fujitora and Sengoku (among others) in its ranks? Umbrage at the mere thought of someone thinking that that would be enough to deter him followed by a headlong charge towards the fleet. Predictably, he lost.
* MadeOfIron: Jack fights one-on-one for FIVE days straight against the two strongest warriors (and the rulers) of the Mink Tribe -- one of which Luffy himself praises for his strength-- who alternate every 12 hours to keep themselves fresh in their fight. Eventually, Jack calls in a poison gas attack not because he was in any danger of being defeated, but because he was simply losing his patience. His reappearance in the present shows that it takes no less than an Admiral-level opponent to even injure him, and while he clearly received one hell of a beating and isn't in great shape, he's also not crippled by any means.
** [[spoiler: Even after having his fleet pulverised by Zunisha, he's shown at the bottom of the sea - [[KryptoniteFactor paralysed,]] but still alive!]]
* MadEye: Bloodshot eyes with tiny irises, even when in mammoth form. The anime adds a bit of a twitch to them at times.
* NervesOfSteel: When informed that the prison ship they're after has an admiral and ex-fleet admiral on it, he almost seems insulted at the thought that it would make him change his plans to attack it.
* NeverFoundTheBody: Wanda mentions that his obituary was in the paper saying he was defeated during his raid on Doflamingo's prison ship. However, since the body was never found, Wanda believes he's still alive. She's later proven right, as he later appears alive (though not in great shape), ripping said obituary.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: He may be incredibly impulsive and reckless, but he does ''not'' mess around. Give him what he wants when he wants it or he will make good on his threats.
* NoShirtLongJacket: He wears nothing underneath his fur coat, showcasing his massive upper body, at least in his first appearance.
* OffingTheAnnoyance: Being reasoned with is practically his BerserkButton, such that he'll quickly resort to violence when someone tries to talk him down.
-->'''Jack:''' I didn't come here to talk.
* OhCrap: Along with a [[MassOhCrap collective one with his crew]] when [[spoiler: Zunisha, the elephant that carries Zou, turns to his fleet and rears it trunk up ready to strike them.]] Granted he doesn't panic like his crew does but he knew there was no way he was going to be able to fight ''that''.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Threatens to destroy an entire city. When his bluff is called, he does exactly that.
* RedBaron: "The Drought". He's called such because he leaves the countries he razes in such a pitiful state that it seems like they went through a drought.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: The newspapers earlier reported his death in his clash against Issho, only for him to appear alive and incensed at his reported demise. He's definitely not in very good shape after it, but he did survive.
* {{Sadist}}: Has admitted that he has no good reason for doing most of what he does; he just really enjoys wanton destruction, mass murder, and brutally torturing captives.
* SinisterSchnoz: His mammoth form takes this trope up a notch, actually weaponizing his massive trunk.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Despite his awful temper and incredible penchant for violence, he tends to speak in an even, almost calm tone to his enemies. He even apologizes for his crew's mouthiness.
* SpikesOfVillainy: His fur coat is adorned with spikes.
* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:While for how long is unclear, he was last seen at the bottom of the ocean. While he seems incapable of drowning, being a Devil Fruit user, he also can't move, essentially leaving him imprisoned at the bottom of the ocean with no way to free himself.]]
* StupidEvil: Jack's insatiable bloodthirst and blind faith in his (admittedly impressive) strength lead him to make one terrible decision after another. Right off the bat, when he approaches the Minks demanding Raizo, their offers to help him in his search are met with swift, immediate violence. The possibility that [[spoiler:the Minks ''were'' hiding Raizo and lying to him]] hadn't even been suggested yet.
* SuperDrowningSkills: Standard for a Devil Fruit user. Although this only seems to affect his swimming, as he [[spoiler:survived being drown deep.]]
* SuperpowerLottery: His Devil Fruit is an Ancient Zoan.
* TalkToTheFist: As an old monkey mink is calmly telling Jack that he needs to hear the minks out, Jack responds by smashing his trunk into the Mink crowd before he can even finish his sentence and coldly says they didn't come to talk.
* TomTheDarkLord: An example of it not being PlayedForLaughs. Despite having an unassuming name, what we know about him so far paints him as an extremely vicious and ruthless man.
* TheUnfettered: Absolutely impossible to reason with and will stop at nothing and refuse no measure to accomplish his goals. He doesn't know or care what you want to tell him, he just wants to get shit done and doesn't really give a fuck about how he does it so long as he gets a chance to smash things and kill people.
* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:Luffy and the Straw Hats never actually fight him, at least in Zou Arc, as Zunesha curbstomped him and left him incapacitated in the ocean floor.]]
* VictoryByEndurance: His battle with the Mink tribe lasted for ''five'' days, and though they eventually wore down his crew, they were unable to contain Jack himself. This allowed him to use one of [[MadScientist Caesar's]] DeadlyGas weapons, which won him the fight.
* VillainHasAPoint: Whether it was his instinct or just pure guessing [[spoiler: but he was right that the Minks were hiding Raizo on the island and lying about their denying of seeing him.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He ate a Zoan Devil Fruit that can turn him into a massive mammoth.
* WalkingWasteland: The explanation behind his epithet. Jack's sheer destructive power renders anywhere he rampages like a massive drought was there.
* WarElephants: As revealed in Wanda's story about his attack on Zou, Jack ate a Devil Fruit that makes him a literal example of this (or at least, close enough as his Devil Fruit makes him a Mammoth).
* TheWorfEffect: A rather unconventional application of the trope. After unleashing untold amount of devastation on the Minks and establishing himself as someone to not be messed with, we get to see his two crushing defeats in a row. But the fact it took [[HopelessBossFight sheer overwhelming force]] both times to bring him down, and yet that's still not enough to permanently put him out of the picture only speaks volumes on his threat level.
* WorthyOpponent: He considers Cat Viper and his Guardians "true warriors".
* YouHaveFailedMe: He ''did not'' take well to Sheepshead coming back to him insisting Raizou wasn't on Zou, stringing the man up as punishment for coming back with that excuse.

[[folder: Other Beasts Pirates]]

The savage, powerful crew led by Kaido of the Four Emperors. It is said that this crew contains a specialized army of 500 artificial Zoan users, courtesy of the joint effort of Donquixote Doflamingo and Caesar Clown, who provided the crew with artificial Zoan Devil Fruits called [=SMILEs=].

* BodyHorror: The Gifters division of the crew have random animal body parts sprouting from certain parts of their bodies. In fact, they look like incomplete Zoans. One Gifter can even make his hand into a wolf's head!
* ChainmailBikini[-/-]{{Stripperiffic}}: Ginrummy, a female member, wears nothing but two pieces of armor covering each of her breasts and a thong.
* {{Cyborg}}: "Iron Boy" Scotch is one.
* CoDragons: The three Cataclysms, one of which is Jack, are implied to be this to Kaido.
* EliteMooks: The Gifters division, a group of Artificial Devil Fruit users.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Ginrummy looks visibly disturbed when the rest of the crew says what they're going to do to the elephant once they manage to drop it to its knees.
* GangOfHats: Many members of the crew wear horns or horned helmets on their heads, probably to emulate their captain, [[HornedHumanoid Kaido]].
* HornAttack: Sheepshead, leader of the Gifters, provides a weird case of this trope by turning his ''arms'' into ram horns.
* HornsOfVillainy: The Gifters wear a pair of black horns on their heads.
* MassOhCrap: Jack's crew got this when [[spoiler:Zuneesha's trunk is coming at them.]]
* {{Mooks}}: The Pleasures division, who resemble foot soldiers and unlike the Gifters do not appear to have any animal traits.
* MookLieutenant: Sheepshead is the headliner of the Gifters.
* PerpetualSmiler: The Pleasures group always smiles and laughs, even as they're beaten down by the Minks.
* PlayingCardMotifs: Jack, Sheepshead, Ginrummy and Scotch all share their names with different types of card games.
* RatedMForManly: The crew is chock full of muscular, horned, caped men who all turn into fearsome beasts. It especially stands out in comparison to fellow Emperor's Big Mom's crew.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: Sheepshead and Ginrummy's fate after Zunesha sinks their fleet is unknown, but likely not good, being Devil's Fruit users, and all]].
* WrongContextMagic: The Gifters' Devil Fruits don't seem to work like 'real' Zoans, allowing them to change one limb at a time into something completely different - changing hands into horns or mouths, for instance.

!Big Mom Pirates / Charlotte Family

[[folder: Overview of Big Mom Pirates [=/=] Charlotte Family]]
[[quoteright:317:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Big_Mom_Jolly_Roger_3691.jpg]]

A very powerful pirate crew serving the great Charlotte Linlin of the Four Emperors. So far, the named members include: Bobbin "The Disposer", Pekoms, Baron Tamago, "Crane Rider" Randolph, "Mad Moiselle" Amande, Diesel, "Gourmet Knight" Streusen, and three of her children who serve as executive officers of the crew, "Thousand Arms" Charlotte Cracker (10th son, Minister of Biscuit), Charlotte Smoothie (14th daughter, Minister of Juice), and Charlotte Katakuri (2nd son).

Also included are the many sons and daughters of Big Mom, several of whom are also directly part of the crew, and many of whom are at least affiliated with its operations. The ones revealed so far are Anana (one of the youngest daughters), Dolce, Dragee and Anglaise (some of the youngest sons), Perospero (1st son, Minister of Candy), Compote (1st daughter, Minister of Fruit), Daifuku (3rd son, Minister of Beans), Oven (4th son, Minister of Browned Foods), Opera (5th son, Minister of Cream), Counter (6th son), Cadenza (7th son), Cavarette (8th son), Gara (9th son), Brulee (8th daughter), Moscato (16th son, Minister of Gelato), Galette (18th daughter, Minister of Butter), Mont-d'Or "The Secretary" (19th son, Minister of Cheese), Chiffon (22nd daughter, married to Capone Bege), Praline (29th daughter, married to Aladdin of Sun Pirates), and Pudding (35th daughter and Sanji's future bride-to-be).

''The more prominent crew and family members also have their own pages below.''

* AbsoluteCleavage: Praline wears an open, frilled, rose-themed jacket and nothing else underneath.
* ActOfTrueLove: Praline fully intends to follow her husband Aladdin of the Sun Pirates when he decides to break away from Big Mom's crew, despite knowing that no one survived doing that. [[spoiler:Eventually, she makes good on her intentions in Chapter 860 as she and the Sun Pirates are seen preparing to leave Totto Land, after tying Pekoms to a rock to prevent him from squealing to Big Mom.]]
* AffablyEvil: Perospero frequently indulges the children that live on Totto Land by letting them eat his candy, when he's not busy turning people into candy.
* AlmightyJanitor:
** Bobbin is said by the Vinsmokes to be a heavy hitter in the crew but his bounty is only 105,500,000 which is fairly low by new world standards especially for a servant of a Yonko. To put it in perspective, this is less than a third of the next lowest known bounty in the crew, Pekoms with 330,000,000.
** Streusen, the Head Chef for the wedding ceremony, turns out to be [[spoiler:the co-founder of the Big Mom Pirates, having met a six-year-old Charlotte Linlin, already a CreepyChild and [[TheCorrupter essentially the reason why she became such a monster]]]]. He himself doesn't seem to be a combatant, but as the man in charge of making sure Big Mom's gluttony is satiated (not to mention the "hunger rages"), it wouldn't be surprising if his seemingly lowly position turns out to be very influential within the crew.
* AndIMustScream: Mont-d'Or's power lets him trap people and animals within books, where they are unable to move or even age, but totally aware of their surroundings and situations.
* AnimeHair:
** Praline's hair is tied into a bun where most of it extend outwards horizontally like a hammerhead shark's.
** Oven, Big Mom's fourth son, has his hair and beard shaped like an anchor, as if he was born with an anchor for a head with a human face on it.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: The family is in possession of "Candy Jacket" bullets, which allow them to penetrate thick walls and armored soldiers, [[spoiler: including the [[SuperToughness modified skeletons]] of the Vinsmoke children, as Pudding demonstrated to Reiju.]]
* AristocratsAreEvil: As Big Mom is the queen of Totto Land and also one of the Four Emperors, most of her family are this. [[spoiler:Even Pudding.]] The exception seems to be [[spoiler:Praline and Chiffon.]]
* ArrangedMarriage: Most of Big Mom's children were set up to marry strong people so they can produce offspring that will strengthen both her crew and the family's influence. Like with Praline, with her husband Aladdin of the Sun Pirates. Also implied to happen with Chiffon and Bege, as part of the latter's alliance with Big Mom. [[spoiler:One of Big Mom's daughters, Lola, defied this by running away from home and finding love on her own terms (though she's yet to find someone who'll accept her proposals)]]. It's also subverted with Pudding and Sanji, who would've been in a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage if it weren't for Sanji's dream of finding the All Blue, his loyalties to the Straw Hat Pirates, and [[spoiler: [[UsedToBeASweetKid the no longer shy and innocent]] Pudding was only pretending to be a nice girl and plans on murdering him and rest of the Vinsmokes on their wedding day]].
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance:
** Mont-d'Or's outfit has a [[SkeletonMotif bone theme]] going on, and he is named after a type of cheese that's made of cow's milk and high in calcium. A fitting appearance for a Minister of Cheese.
** Moscato is the Minister of Gelato. As such, his outfit and appearance had an ice cream motif going on. Even his blue-pink hair resembles whipped gelato somewhat.
** Opera is the Minister of Whipped Cream. As such, his entire body is made of cream.
** Perospero serves as Candy Island's governor, the Minister of Candy. His powers and clothes are candy-themed, and he likes eating candy.
** Praline's bun, the pattern of her lower shark body, and her frilled clothes make her reminiscent of a noble Frenchwoman, considering exactly who she descends from...
** Compote is the Minister of Fruit who wears a very lavish hat that resembles a cup full of stacked fruits.
** Charlotte Dolce and his brother Dragée have very round bodies, and their favorite thing is balloons. Their favorite hobby is to float around using balloons.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Like the Sweet Commanders, Totto Land's Ministers are also similarly powerful in one way or another.
* BadassCape:
** Randolph wears a dark cape, and is a capable fighter.
** Big Mom's fourth son, Charlotte Oven, is a Minister and eater of the Heat Heat Fruit who wears a cape that darkens every time he uses his heat powers.
* BadassFamily: Invoked - Big Mom married 43 husbands, mothered 85 children, and [[ArrangedMarriage arranged them to marry strong people]] in order to strengthen her crew and their influence.
* BaldOfEvil: Charlotte Daifuku's head is completely shorn, and he's a loyal son and Minister to Big Mom.
* BalefulPolymorph: Perospero's power includes this. He can turn people into candy [[ImAHumanitarian and eat them]] if he wished to. He threatens Caesar Clown in addition to being eaten with this fate [[spoiler:if he doesn't produce the giantification formula for Big Mom in two weeks]].
* {{Balloonacy}}: Charlotte Dolce and his brother Dragée love balloons so much that they often use them to float in the air. Their sister Anana loves tormenting them by using knives to pop their balloons.
* BeingPersonalIsntProfessional: Seems to be a sentiment among the crews. Bege [[spoiler:shot Pekoms]] when the latter took his emotions into account when dealing with the mission to bring the Straw Hats to Big Mom, what with them helping his devastated homeland. This action disgusted Sanji, noting that he has no respect for a crew who would hurt one of their own. Tamago then countered using this trope, even saying that Capone did the right thing. However he would later state that if Pekoms was alive he'd beg Big Mom to take him back.
* BerserkButton: If you hurt one of their siblings, the Charlotte family will immediately try to make mince-meat out of you. Just ask Luffy.
* {{BFS}}: Bobbin carries a very massive sabre on his back that dwarfs him in size. Amande also carries a very long katana - in fact, it's one of the Meitou, the in-universe fabled strong swords.
* BigBrotherInstinct: [[spoiler:Aside from the abuse Big Mom gave her for looking like her runaway twin sister, Lola, Chiffon decided to help Bege off Big Mom during Sanji's wedding because she knew of Lola's naïveté concerning their mother, and that she wouldn't be safe as long as Big Mom lives.]]
* BigEater: Both Bobbin and Pekoms are implied to enjoy eating, while Perospero enjoys eating ''people'' (after turning them into candy first).
* TheBigGuy: Opera is the largest of Totto Land's Ministers, barring Cracker (when donning his Biscuit Soldier armor).
* BigScrewedUpFamily: What the Charlotte family actually is behind closed doors. While they act like charitable hosts and they do seem to care for each other, most of them are homicidally insane as their mother, Big Mom, no thanks to her [[AbusiveParents terrible parenting]], her willingness to [[OffingTheOffspring kill her own children]] [[spoiler:(like Charlotte Moscato)]], and ControlFreak tendencies. Those children working under her are fearful of receiving YouHaveFailedMe from her if they screw up, which resulted in some like Opera lying about Luffy and Nami's escape from captivity. Two of her daughters, Praline and Chiffon, are more loyal to their husbands than Big Mom [[spoiler:with Praline essentially jumping ship with her husband's crew despite knowing the severe consequences for doing so, and Chiffon supporting Bege's assassination plan because of all the abuse Big Mom heaped on her for being the identical twin sister of the runaway Lola, whom Big Mom despises with a passion, and because she wants Lola to be safe. And Pudding, who is supposedly one of Big Mom's favorites and supports her plans, UsedToBeASweetKid but became a sadistic and cunning psychopath because of both Big Mom and the other children ridiculing her ThirdEye, and is frustrated with her mother treating her like a convenient tool]].
* BilingualBonus: Some members of the Charlotte family are given names of food in different languages.
** "Anana" (alt. "ananas") means "pineapple" in many languages.
** Moscato's name comes from the Italian term for the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscat_(grape) muscat grapes]]. The island he [[spoiler:formerly]] governed, Gelato, is also an Italian term for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelato ice cream]].
** Mont-d'Or's name is a French term for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacherin a type of cheese that's made of cow's milk]].
** "Dolce" is the Italian word for "sweet".
* BladeOnAStick: Randolph uses a [[DoubleWeapon double-edged]] variety.
* BlobMonster: Opera's general appearance, and given he is the Minister of Whipped Cream, that is most likely the reason for it. It's revealed he ate a (presumably Logia-type) Devil Fruit that turned his body into cream, and can attack people with cream by adding "sweetness" to it, burning his foes upon contact.
* BrattyHalfPint:
** Anana, a young kid who enjoys tormenting her siblings to the point where one desires to kill her for being so rotten.
** There's also Anglaise, a boy who tries to act like a stereotypical [[GreaserDelinquents Greaser]].
* BystanderSyndrome: [[spoiler:Chiffon was constantly, horrifically abused by Big Mom whenever the two crossed paths, because she looked like her runaway twin sister, Lola. Chiffon's other siblings were implied to have known what was going on, but didn't step in once to help.]]

** Anana and her siblings don't seem to get along very well; her brothers Dolce and Dragée in particular hate her for constantly popping their balloons. One of her other siblings wished to kill her for being such a rotten kid.
** [[spoiler:Lola's siblings appear to subvert this when they see Luffy and Nami were carrying Lola's Vivre Card and immediately the worst happened, asking for her last words... but then a few of said siblings later reappear looking completely fine with Big Mom's plans to kill Lola for running away from an important political marriage in the past. Lola's brother Opera was going to torture Nami for his sister's current location [[BigDamnHeroes had Jimbe not walked in]]. However, Lola's twin sister Chiffon subverts this; aside from [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal being tired of Big Mom's abuse]], she joined her husband Bege in offing her mother with Lola's safety in mind.]]
* CharacterTics: Bobbin has a habit of bobbing his head sideways (hence his name) while talking.
* ChessMotifs: Two-fold; The army of {{Mooks}} employed by the crew are called the "Chess Barbarian Army", which are Homies dressed and armed like chess pieces, and then the main crew also have Chess ranks, with Tamago as a Knight, Bobbin as a Bishop, and Capone Bege as a Rook.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Praline is enraged at the thought of her husband Aladdin of the Sun Pirates leaving her alone when he decides to leave Big Mom's crew. Then she subverts it by declaring that she'll follow him over Big Mom any day.
* ColorMotif: Judging from the episodes featuring them, Big Mom and her crew seem to wear a ''lot'' of pink.
* CoolBigSis: Chiffon and her twin sister [[spoiler:Lola]] have this dynamic, with Chiffon ''technically'' being the older one. She delighted hearing of her sister's adventures from Nami, and the only one of her family who doesn't hate her for running away. [[spoiler:She even supported Bege's plan to assassinate Big Mom because [[BigBrotherInstinct she was planning to kill Lola]].]]
* CoolBike: In Chapter 848, little Charlotte Anglaise rides into Big Mom's library on a huge caterpillar with Harley-Davidson handlebars for antennae. Not only is it cool-looking, it's absolutely ''adorable''.
* CreepyChild: Anana enjoys mutilating her stuffed toys with knives, and when her family's head chef denied her the pleasure, she complained to Big Mom.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath:
** [[spoiler:Moscato shows fear in front of his gigantic {{Gonk}} of a mother (which his siblings warned him not to do) while trying to calm her down from her hunger-induced rampage, and gets ''his entire lifespan'' yanked out of him for his trouble. Ouch]].
** [[spoiler:King Baum in chapter 846 is killed by "Mad Moiselle" Amande when she uses her sword to saw through his body at an agonizingly slow pace. He begs her to kill him quickly, but Amande refuses just to savor his last moments of pain]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Chiffon has one. [[spoiler:She was horrifically abused by Big Mom [[MisplacedRetribution because she's the runaway Lola's identical twin]]. Because Lola ran away from an important ArrangedMarriage, Big Mom decided to vent her anger on Chiffon whenever they crossed paths. It got so bad that Chiffon [[YoureNotMyFather disowned her mother]] and felt no remorse when she decided to help Bege assassinate Big Mom.]]
* DelinquentHair:
** Charlotte Moscato's blue-pink hairstyle resembles a whipped pompadour, though he's actually not a delinquent by profession.
** Moscato's little brother Anglaise also sports a pompadour, and acts like a stereotypical [[GreaserDelinquents Greaser]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Totland's Ministers Opera, Mont-d'Or and Galette cared greatly for Moscato [[spoiler:and were greatly saddened and shaken when they witnessed Big Mom rip out their brother's soul. Chapter 845 has the three being part of the many participants in the manhunt for Luffy, the defeater of their brother and fellow Minister Cracker]].
** Subverted with Charlotte Anana's relationship with her siblings, who all hate her for being a sadistic and homicidal little terror. One of said siblings even expressed a desire to kill Anana for being "rotten to the core".
** [[spoiler:In chapter 846, when Big Mom's army discovers the Straw Hat Pirates had Lola's Vivre Card, they immediately worry that Lola had been killed and ask for her last words. Nami insists that nothing of the sort happened and Lola is the Straw Hats' ally. Then it's subverted when a few members of said army, who also happen to be a few of Lola's brothers and sisters, accept Big Mom's plan to assassinate her, with Opera preparing to torture Nami for information [[BigDamnHeroes had Jimbei not walked in]]]].
* EveryoneIsArmed: [[spoiler:It's shown during the wedding ceremony that most of the lesser crew are armed with the special revolver that Pudding mentions to have, even the priest.]]
* EvilGloating: Perospero holds off on killing [[spoiler: the Vinsmoke Family]] just so he can brag to [[spoiler: Judge]] about how he's got them dead-to-rights. Naturally, [[VillainBall he spends a little too much time on the gloating]] before Big Mom's scream, taking him and the other executors down, and the Straw Hats (who have protections) manage to save them.
* EvilLaugh: Perospero's SignatureLaugh, "Kukukuku", and Bobbin's "Boyoyon" (which also makes it an onomatopoeia for spring coils).
* EyeObscuringHat: "Mad Moiselle" Amande wears a hat that has an extremely wide brim and hides her face.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Anana is an adorable little kid who enjoys mutilating her stuffed toys with knives and sadistically tormenting her siblings. [[spoiler:Anana's older sister, Pudding, is actually as evil and psychotic as her mother ("Only my family knows the real me!"); she also has a third eye. However, unlike Anana, Pudding UsedToBeASweetKid before years of bullying and abuse caused her to snap completely.]]
* FamilyThemeNaming: Big Mom's children are named after specific types of food and drinks. [[spoiler:Lola, the runaway 23rd daughter who is mostly treated as the family outcast, averts this.]]
* FatBastard: Bobbin is a short, rotund-bodied, [[{{Gonk}} ugly-looking]] pirate working for Big Mom. Also burned down an entire country who didn't pay Big Mom in time, and had the gall to laugh about it.
* FirstNameBasis: The only member of Big Mom's crew who calls her by her real name of Charlotte Linlin is [[ChefOfIron Streusen]], likely since [[spoiler:he was her first crewmate and the one who inspired her to form the Big Mom Pirates in the first place]].
* ForcedSleep: Bobbin is able to make others sleep by ringing his head like a bell. Anyone that hears the sound is knocked out.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** The Charlotte family are all named after foods or things related to it [[spoiler:except for [[OddNameOut Lola]]. It's later revealed that Lola ran away from an important political ArrangedMarriage that will ally her family with the giants, ruining Big Mom's plans to become Pirate King. Almost all of her family members, save for her twin sister Chiffon, hate her as a result.]]
** When Moscato is on the face of Big Mom's hunger-induced rampage, his siblings tell him to not show fear; but he did, and he got life-stolen by Big Mom. [[spoiler:They were actually advising him to defend against her powers, as the fear of her is what makes her power effective; Jimbei not fearing her causes her powers to fail on him.]]
* FourIsDeath: [[spoiler:Moscato is the 16th son of the Charlotte Family. Four multiplied by four equals sixteen. He's one of the few people after the TimeSkip to die on-screen]].
* GagLips: Charlotte Chiffon has huge lips, [[spoiler:not unlike her sister Lola's]].
* GagNose: Mont-d'Or has a long nose that's not unlike Usopp's. His older brother Perospero, and sister Brulee, also have long noses.
* GenieInABottle: Charlotte Daifuku ate the Puff-Puff Fruit (Hoya Hoya no Mi) that turns him into a walking genie's lamp; he can summon a powerful, dark-skinned genie to fight for him by rubbing any part of his body.
* GeniusLoci: Totland has a ''lot'' of AnimateInanimateObject, so many that the land itself is alive. And if you are trespassing, know that they will watch your every move and make your life ''hell''. [[spoiler:This is thanks to Big Mom's Soul Soul powers, granting life to them]].
* GildedCage: Totto Land, or anyplace in Big Mom's territory counts as this for most of her children. They're all left wanting for nothing, with food and riches everywhere they go, but Big Mom is so tyrannical and controlling that most of her children gave up on defying her to pursue their own dreams [[spoiler:save for one of Big Mom's daughters, Lola, who successfully ran away with her mother's Vivre Card. For that, she was disowned, with plans to send assassins after her]].
* {{Gonk}}: Some of Big Mom's human pirate crew members as well as her children (especially the older ones) are ugly-looking. So far we've seen Bobbin, Chiffon and her sister Lola, Cracker (subverted in his case as his real appearance is not that bad-looking), Opera (who's a walking, talking, goopy mess of cream) and Brulee (whom Luffy even mistook for a tree branch when she stands on a tree). Pound, Chiffon and Lola's father, is also ugly-looking (though he's seen as an outsider to the family).
* GonkyFemme: Chiffon may look gonky but she's a feminine and mature woman who cares for her husband and child.
* GoodParents: Chiffon is a very loving mother to her infant son, Pez, and her husband, Capone Bege, helps raise him. A far cry from [[AbusiveParents Big Mom]].
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: "Mad Moiselle" Amande is an evil swordswoman working as a member of Big Mom's crew, and carries a cigarette in her mouth.
* GreaserDelinquents: Anglaise tries to be one of those but, due to being a young kid, comes off as a BrattyHalfPint.
* HalfHumanHybrid: A number of Big Mom's children are hybrids of some sort with other fantastic races in the verse, like Praline being a half mermaid and Smoothie being a half Longleg Tribe. It's part of Big Mom wanting diversity in her family.
* HappilyMarried: The two {{Arranged Marriage}}s we've seen so far (Chiffon and Capone Bege, Praline and Aladdin of the Sun Pirates) are quite happy. The latter even would happily choose to follow him over her mother any day.
* HairDecorations: Chiffon has a single, large bow in her hair. Her twin sister [[spoiler:Lola]] also had one when she was younger [[spoiler:before she ran away from home]].
* HellBentForLeather: Little Charlotte Anglaise wears a black leather jacket as part of his [[GreaserDelinquents Greaser]] get-up.
* HighCollarOfDoom:
** Opera wears a black cloak that has a high collar. While he isn't evil (as of yet), he's still a Minister and son of Big Mom who works for his mother.
** Perospero's coat has a high collar that's reminiscent of a candy wrapper. He's also a supporter of his mother Big Mom, and while his candy-themed power by itself isn't evil, his [[ImAHumanitarian use for it]] regarding people is.
* HornsOfVillainy: Galette wears a pair of small, black, spaded ones, though whether or not they're real is unclear.
* HumanMomNonhumanDad: Praline's mother is a huge, terrifying {{Gonk}} of a human. Meanwhile, her father seems to be a hammerhead shark Merman. This applies to a lot of Big Mom's children.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: [[spoiler:Chiffon and Lola are identical twin sisters who share the same {{Gonk}}y face. To tell them apart, Chiffon has GirlishPigtails and a hair bow, while Lola has braids (though she did have a bob cut and a bow like her sister before she ran away).]]
* ImAHumanitarian: Perospero's Devil Fruit power allows him to turn people into candy and eat them. He threatens Caesar Clown with this fate [[spoiler:if he doesn't produce the giantification formula for Big Mom in two weeks]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Most of Big Mom's older children, especially the older ones, though it's also averted with most of the younger children who are all decent and reasonable. It could also apply to most of her pirate crew as well -- Bobbin's seen laughing after ''burning down a country''.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Perospero taunting a crying man with his imminent death at the hands of Big Mom's crew would normally qualify as a KickTheDog moment if said man wasn't [[spoiler:[[AbusiveParents Vinsmoke Judge]]]]
* KidsAreCruel: Anana enjoys popping the balloons of her brothers Dolce and Dragée, earning their hatred. Her other siblings don't seem to like her either, with one expressing a wish to kill her.
* KillerRabbit: Quite literally in his case; Randolph is a sentient rabbit who won't hesitate to kill groups of people if it'll fulfill a mission.
* KingMook: The boss of the Seducing Woods is a really big tree, King Baum.
* LeanAndMean: Perospero, a skinny, tall guy who can turn people into candy and eat them.
* LetsMeetTheMeat: The {{Animate Inanimate Object}}s in Totland include foods. It can be quite jarring to see your dinner asking you what would you prefer, expressing discomfort when eaten but ultimately satisfied that they taste good.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Some of Big Mom's older children are utterly loyal to their mother and antagonizing the Straw Hat Pirates; her oldest son Perospero especially shares her love of sweets, while one of her youngest daughters has her homicidal and sadistic tendencies.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon:
** Most of the younger children play it straight by being more decent, reasonable, and often physically attractive. Moscato in particular was decent and reasonable, and even tried to calm Big Mom down [[spoiler:when she went on a hunger-induced rampage]]. Physically, he's not hard on the eyes, either.
** Two of Big Mom's daughters who have been seen in {{Arranged Marriage}}s are very loving and supportive of their husbands. In contrast, Big Mom only sees her husbands as sperm banks and discards them as soon as they served their purpose.
* MafiaPrincess: Big Mom's daughters are usually treated like this, i.e being pampered with wealth and money but not having much choice in their lives. [[spoiler:Lola escaped that life years ago when she was set up for an important ArrangedMarriage with the giant prince, Loki.]]
* ManiacTongue: Perospero was seen in his debut licking a candy cane with his long tongue while sporting a sick, insane look on his face. He also can turn people into candy and eat them.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: ''39 daughters and 46 sons''. One must wonder how Big Mom was able to raise them all. Especially given that they were all born over the course of 42 years, with at least one child born ''every single year'' during that period, and there were multiple instances of multiple births among them... including a set of ''decuplets'' (ten children at once).
* MeaningfulName: The Charlotte family in general seems to be entirely named after sweets and other kinds of food, which completely fits with Big Mom's love of sweets. Almost all of them also reference their own name in various ways, either by [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance their appearance]] or [[StevenUlyssesPerhero their powers.]]
** Praline is named after a confection that contains nuts and sugar; while she's ultimately a good person, she can be a little nutty (pun intended) and [[ClingyJealousGirl possessive]] when it comes to her husband [[spoiler:Aladdin of the Sun Pirates]] (though she's more loyal to him than her mother Big Mom). Alternatively, her name takes after the "Pralinières", young women who were also called "casket girls" due to them carrying all their belongings in small jewelry boxes. These women were also candy-makers who were taught lessons that would allow them to marry higher than their station. Praline herself, despite her mother being a pirate, is of high birth due to Big Mom's "Emperor" status and global affluence.
** Bobbin's name references [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobblehead bobblehead dolls]], and his habit has him bobbing his head sideways while talking to someone. It also seems to be related to his ForcedSleep powers as he's seen bobbing his head to put subordinates to sleep. Alternatively, it could reference Halloween's "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_bobbing apple-bobbing]]" tradition.
** As a whole, the Charlotte family is named after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_(cake) charlotte cake]], which is made of several ingredients that most of Big Mom's children happened to be named after. It could reference how almost all members of the family are working together to help their mother keep Totto Land running.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler:After being constantly abused by Big Mom for looking like her runaway twin sister, Lola, Chiffon decides to help her husband Bege off her mother on Sanji's wedding day. She even makes that clear in front of Brulee. [[BigBrotherInstinct Though she has another reason for her compliance]].]]
* {{Mooks}}: The Chess Soldiers, which are [[ChessMotifs chess-themed Homies]] with card-themed weaponry.
* MundaneUtility: Perospero's candy powers are great to get rid of nuisances, as well as create large structures which are then reinforced with iron. They can also be used to decorate cream puffs, and make an escalator.
* MulticoloredHair: With his debut in Episode 788, Moscato's hair is revealed to be half pink, half dark-blue.
* NeverMyFault: When Randolph mistakenly (almost) attacks Cracker, the latter gets angry at the former. Randolph blames the crane he was riding... while the crane blames him back.
* NiceHat:
** Perospero wears a striped top hat where the brim is lined with lollipops.
** Big Mom's 1st daughter, Compote, wears a hat that resembles a glass filled with fruit.
* NonIndicativeName: You'd be forgiven for thinking Perospero's Devil Fruit power (Pero Pero no Mi/Lick Lick Fruit) is solely about licking things based on its name when it's actually about creating candy (that one can lick), including [[BalefulPolymorph turning people into candy]].
* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler:Moscato was the "Offspring" in question. Big Mom didn't recognize him while she was on a hunger-induced rampage, and killed him when he got scared trying to calm her down]].
* OneManArmy: Apparently, Bobbin alone was enough to burn down a whole country ''by himself''. This pretty much applies to most of Big Mom's crew as when gathering supplies for the tea party, they only sent one member from the crew to get one particular ingredient.
* OrnamentalWeapon: Moscato carried a sword with a ice cream cone-shaped hilt. [[spoiler:Never got to use it, not that it would've helped him against Big Mom anyway]].
* OverlyLongTongue: Perospero's tongue is very long by human standards. It allows him to lick big candy.
* PettingZooPeople: Randolph is an anthropomorphic rabbit, though as Carrot confirmed, he's not a Mink. He's a previously normal rabbit that was given sentience by Big Mom.
* PerpetualSmiler: Bobbin is always seen with a face-wide grin. [[spoiler:He only loses it when he's shot from afar by Bege's men, implied to be [[FanBoy Vito]].]]
* PlayingWithFire: Charlotte Oven, of a sort. He ate the Heat Heat Fruit (''Netsu Netsu no Mi''), which allows him to radiate heat and make anything he touches extremely hot, as if they had been just taken out of the oven. Basically, it's similar to the anime-only Hot-Hot Fruit (''Atsu Atsu no Mi'') eaten by Don Achino.
* PokeThePoodle: Anglaise's idea of delinquency? Not brushing his teeth before bed.
* PrettyInMink: Galette is never seen without her dark feather coat, and isn't so hard on the eyes herself, either. [[FurAndLoathing That being said, she's a lackey/child of Big Mom]].
* ProperlyParanoid: Mont-d'Or orders the Chess Soldiers to keep looking for Luffy and Nami despite Opera claiming he killed them, rightfully believing Opera was being less than honest about what really happened. [[spoiler:His suspicions are later confirmed in Chapter 863 when Luffy indeed shows up alive during the crashing of Sanji and Pudding's wedding, much to his fury.]]
* PunnyName: Perospero's name is both based on the [[PunnyName Japanese onomatopoeia for licking,]] "Pero pero" (his Devil Fruit is also ''Pero Pero no Mi''), and an allusion to Prospero, a magician from Shakespeare's play ''[[Theatre/TheTempest The Tempest]]''.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Moscato was the only Minister of Totto Land who's decent enough to try calm Big Mom down [[spoiler:when she goes on a hunger-induced rampage that endangers many citizens; [[AdaptationalExpansion in the anime, he can be seen evacuating many of said citizens to safety while Big Mom terrorizes Sweet City, and saved a little girl from being trampled by Big Mom]]. Too bad he got scared at the last minute and had his soul ripped out of him. The crowd of his immediate mourners was quite large; among them is a young boy who cries over Moscato's husk of a body [[PleaseWakeUp begging him to come back]]]].
* RedBaron: Many of Big Mom's children and crew members have their own epithet as a result of their badassery. Examples revealed so far included Bobbin "the Disposer", "Crane Rider" Randolph, Montd'Or "the Secretary", etc.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:When news of Cracker's defeat by Luffy spread, Big Mom's crew and children take up arms ''en masse'' and go to hunt down Luffy]].
* ScaryTeeth: Praline has shark teeth due to being a hammerhead shark mermaid, but it's subverted as it doesn't detract from her beauty and she's a good person despite being one of Big Mom's daughters.
* SharedFamilyQuirks:
** Although she looks nothing like Big Mom physically, Anana seems to have inherited her insane and homicidal tendencies from her.
** Perospero shares his mother's love for sweets, if his habit of licking and candy powers are of indication.
* SharpDressedMan: Perospero's outfit is reminiscent of this despite it making him look like an utter whackjob.
* ShoulderTeammate: Counter is often seen with a tiny woman hanging off of his left arm, even in battle.
* ShoutOut:
** Perospero, to [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka]]. Both of their occupations and themes revolve entirely around sweets, and are creators of candy-making factories. Both also wear {{Nice Hat}}s and are sharply dressed. His name, meanwhile, is a pun of Prospero, a character from William Shakespeare's ''The Tempest''.
** One then-unnamed member glimpsed at in the Fishman Island arc is a cute girl with three eyes. It could be a ShoutOut to Yuzo Takada's ''Manga/SazanEyes'', to Tenshinhan from ''Manga/DragonBall'', or to Hosuke Sharaku from ''Manga/TheThreeEyedOne''. Her hair style, the fact she was wearing pink, and the fact her eyes were initially closed also bring to mind [[Anime/CodeGeass Nunnally Lamperouge]]. Her reveal as [[spoiler: Charlotte Pudding]] yield another ''3x3 Eyes'' connection: [[spoiler: the reveal of her third eye follows the reveal of her real, evil personality. In ''3x3 Eyes'' the girl's third eye is a separate, more coldly logical (and male) personality]].
** Randolph, to ''Literature/TheVelveteenRabbit'', in where he was given a human soul by Big Mom, allowing him to act and fight like a human. His outfit is also reminiscent of ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers''.
* SignatureLaugh: Praline's "Shashasha".
* SkeletonMotif: Mont-d'Or wears an outfit designed with a skeleton pattern, possibly reflecting him being the Minister of Cheese, as cheese is a famously high source of calcium.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:Streusen]] had no more than 3 panels of screentime and was essentially a non-presence in the story up until Big Mom's past was further explored, revealing his real contribution to the formation of the Big Mom Pirates as well as being TheCorrupter to Linlin.
* StaringDownCthulhu: Moscato attempted to do this [[spoiler:when he tried to calm Big Mom down from her hunger-induced rampage]], but got scared at the last minute after he was warned not to [[spoiler:and gets his lifespan yanked out of him trying to flee]]. Kudos to him for trying, though.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero:
** Perospero's name puns with "pero pero" (Japanese sound for licking). He is a Devil Fruit user who eats candy by licking them and can turn people into candy.
** Oven, true to his name, can generate extreme heat with his Netsu Netsu no Mi power.
* StrongFamilyResemblance:
** Chiffon strongly resembles her runaway sister [[spoiler:Lola]] in all but hair (Chiffon has GirlishPigtails while the latter has braids). Though it's justified due to them being identical twins.
** Two of Big Mom's youngest sons Dolce and Dragée resemble each other so much, you'd think they could be identical twins.
** Aside from the facial scarring, Brulee looks like a (very) thin version of her mother.
** Chiffon's son Pez heavily resembles his father Capone Bege of the Firetank Pirates, ''complete with hat, stubble, and cigar''.
** Big Mom's first daughter, Compote, is her mother's spitting image in all but hat (she wears a glass filled with fruit for a hat).
* ThirdEye: [[spoiler: Pudding has three eyes]].
* ThreateningShark: Subverted; despite being a (half) hammerhead shark mermaid, Praline's actually quite lovely.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: Mont-d'Or's ability revolves around books. He can make books fly (and stand on 2 flying books) and he can trap Luffy in a book dimension.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Praline and Chiffon are larger than their husbands, Aladdin and Capone Bege respectively.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Praline at least suggested that she'll follow her husband more than her own mom anytime. [[spoiler:That eventually comes true, with her supporting Aladdin and Sun Pirates' decision of betraying Big Mom. Chiffon is also revealed to be this, wholly behind her husband Bege's plan of assassinating her mom, because [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal of the abuse Big Mom gave her]], and she knows her twin's life is in danger as long as her mom is still alive.]]
* TopHeavyGuy:
** Moscato has a very large and bulky torso compared to his rather skinny arms and legs.
** Moscato's older brother, Daifuku, has large shoulders and a large torso, yet skinny legs, similar to Franky's.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior:
** Anana thinks that ''mutilating her own toys with knives'' is fun. Also earned her siblings' hatred by tormenting them and (for Dolce and Dragée) constantly popping their balloons.
** One of Anana's siblings isn't any better, voicing a desire to ''kill her'' for being so rotten.
** Parodied with Anglaise, who tries really hard to emulate a {{Greaser Delinquent|s}}. His idea of delinquency was ''not brushing teeth before bed''.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter:
** Most of [[{{Gonk}} Big Mom]]'s younger children are very attractive or at least decent-looking. Pudding in particular looks ''nothing'' like her despite being one of her daughters, and Praline is pretty easy on the eye as well (discounting her ScaryTeeth).
** It's double-subverted with Cracker, who's a {{Gonk}} like his mother... when he dons his Biscuit Soldier armor. His real face, while isn't exactly pretty, it isn't outright Gonk either.
** Subverted for Chiffon [[spoiler:and her twin sister Lola]] whose face is also quite as ugly, as well as Brulee.
* TheUnfavorite: [[spoiler:As it turns out, Chiffon is this to Big Mom, all because [[MisplacedRetribution she looks like her twin sister]], who ran away from a political marriage, to the point of frequently beating her to near death whenever they met. Said twin sister, Lola, is also hated by a large majority of her family, with most of her siblings being willing to help Big Mom assassinate her.]]
* VillainousGlutton:
** Perospero shares his mother's love for sweets and enjoys licking candies. And he can [[BalefulPolymorph turn humans into candy by his powers]], so he's basically [[ImAHumanitarian a cannibal]].
** Bobbin "the Disposer" is implied to enjoy eating. Also he razed a country who couldn't pay tribute to Big Mom in time and laughed about it.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Like his younger brother and fellow Minister, Cracker, Oven wears a cape and nothing else from the waist up.
* WarriorPrince: The majority of Big Mom's sons seen so far are Devil Fruit users and capable fighters.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:The 16th son Charlotte Moscato was introduced with a character box description, but then gets killed by his mother Big Mom shortly thereafter]].
* WhenTreesAttack: The trees of the Seducing Woods are alive thanks to Big Mom's powers and are tasked to keep any intruders trapped in.
* WhiteSheep: So far, Charlotte sisters Praline and Chiffon are shown to be more kindhearted than their mother and a large portion of their family. [[spoiler:The former leaves Totto Land with her husband and the Sun Pirates before Sanji and Pudding's wedding started, and the latter opposes Big Mom for constantly abusing her and threatening the well-being of her identical twin sister, Lola.]]
* TheWonka: Perospero is essentially a walking [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka]] reference.
* WouldHitAGirl: Daifuku slaps his sister Pudding away [[spoiler:after she fails to kill Sanji as planned, and attempts to do it himself.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair:
** Galette has magenta-pink hair, as of Episode 788.
** Charlotte Chiffon has light pink hair as well as her identical twin sister [[spoiler:Lola]].
* YoureNotMyFather:
** Due to Big Mom teaching her kids that [[GlorifiedSpermDonor their fathers are outsiders and therefore not "true" family]], some of them treat their fathers with absolute disdain, as seen with Cracker and his interactions with his stepfather, Pound.
** [[spoiler:A gender-inverted example with Chiffon; because Big Mom constantly takes her frustration out on Chiffon due to her twin sister Lola running away on an important political marriage and they're twins, Chiffon doesn't see Big Mom as her mother anymore after all the beatings she got from her, and is willing to go along with Capone's plan to take her down. That and [[BigBrotherInstinct she wants Lola to be safe]]]].
* YouthfulFreckles: Praline has lots of facial freckles, and looks quite lovely compared to [[{{Gonk}} her mother]].

[[folder: Three Sweet Commanders]]
The Three Sweet Commanders are extremely powerful Devil Fruit users and warriors, each with the highest known bounties ever recorded in ''One Piece''. Because of their skill and reputation, they are Big Mom's CoDragons, acting as her executive officers as well as her pirate crew's strongest and most feared fighters. There was also originally a fourth commander named Snack who lost his/her ranking after being defeated by "Mad Monk" Urouge; whether this means Snack was killed, demoted, or something else altogether remains unknown.

The current roster consists of Charlotte Katakuri and his younger brother Charlotte Cracker, and their sister Charlotte Smoothie. For more information on them, go to Characters/OnePieceMajorVillainsNewWorld.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: All three Sweet Commanders are extremely powerful, with the highest bounties in ''One Piece''.
* BadassPrincess: Smoothie is the 14th daughter of a queen and pirate Emperor, with one of the highest bounties a female ''One Piece'' character can hold. She is able to fight as well as her brothers and fellow Sweet Commanders.
* BrotherSisterTeam: The Sweet Commanders currently consists of Big Mom's 14th daughter, Smoothie, and Big Mom's sons, Cracker (10th) and Katakuri (2nd). All of them work together to ensure Totto Land is still up and running.
* CoDragons: For Big Mom, who is both their direct superior and biological mother.
* TheDreaded: All of them are generally thought as this, as many other pirates face a brick wall when they meet any one of them. There actually used to be four of them, but Urouge managed to defeat one before being defeated and chased out to a Sky Island by Cracker/Big Mom.
* FourIsDeath: As mentioned above, there used to be a fourth member named "Snack", who lost his/her ranking after being defeated by "Mad Monk" Urouge in the past.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Their decisions since coming into conflict with the Straw Hats hadn't been that great, allowing their enemies to interfere with Big Mom's operations and crash Sanji and Pudding's wedding without a hitch.
** Cracker deciding to [[ExplainingYourPowersToTheEnemy reveal how his powers worked]] to Luffy and Nami as a joke not only gets his ass kicked, but also sends Totto Land [[MassOhCrap into lockdown]], allowing the Straw Hats to travel deeper into enemy territory (mostly) undeterred.
** Smoothie not telling Big Mom about what Jimbei did to her "[[AndIMustScream library collection]]" out of the desire not to spoil both the wedding plans and her mother's good mood, not only allows the trapped prisoners to get away undeterred, but allows Luffy and Nami to escape and come back with stronger reinforcements for their WeddingSmashers plan.
** Despite being having almost perfect CombatClairvoyance, Katakuri ends up making bad calls that fail to improve the situation for his family. First, he tries to snipe Sanji when he predicts that [[spoiler: Pudding and the priest]] will fail to do so, only for Sanji to dodge and tip off the Vinsmokes that something's going on. Then, when Luffy and his clones appear to wreak havoc, he tells everyone to ignore the transformed animals and focus on Luffy... which means no one is paying attention to [[spoiler:Brook-disguised-as-Luffy as he sneaks around and destroys Mother Carmel's portrait.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: There's no telling if Snack is dead or not, but after getting defeated in the past, he/she doesn't appear in the present.
* SiblingYinYang: Both Cracker and Smoothie have fairly outgoing and confident personalities. Katakuri? He just glares at everyone and radiates death wherever he goes.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Like most of their siblings, the Sweet Commanders are named after food that also relate to their Devil Fruit powers.
* SubmissiveBadass: All of them are capable of kicking ass, but they are utterly loyal to Big Mom, who is also their biological mother, and following her orders are their greatest priority.
* TerribleTrio: After Snack got defeated by Urouge and was subsequently demoted/killed/whatever, the Sweet Commanders' number was reduced to three, with Smoothie, Cracker, and Katakuri remaining. It still doesn't make them any less dangerous in the eyes of the world.
* WarriorPrince: Cracker and Katakuri are sons of Big Mom and ''very'' accomplished fighters, with high bounties under their belts.

[[folder: Prominent Crew and Family]]
!!Pekoms
[[quoteright:245:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smokep_8.png]]

-->Voiced by: Creator/NobuoTobita (JP)

A humanoid lion and a combatant of the Big Mom Pirates, he and Baron Tamago are the first members of the crew to appear, being introduced in Chapter 651 as the two collectors for the monthly payment of sweets that Fishman Island owes to Big Mom for her protection. It is later revealed that he is a lion [[PettingZooPeople Mink]] who was born in Zou.

He ate the Turtle-Turtle Fruit (Kame Kame no Mi), a Zoan Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a tortoise.

He has a bounty of 330,000,000 berries.
-----
* AfroAsskicker: A powerful Mink with a large bounty and a nice blonde 'fro.
* BadassAdorable: His eyes are ridiculously tiny and utterly defuse any seriousness when he's trying to threaten people. He also has a bounty of 330,000,000 Berries and expressed confidence that only he and Capone Bege would be needed to retrieve Caesar Clown and deal with the Straw Hats.
* ButtMonkey: His interactions with Luffy following [[spoiler:being shot and abandoned by Bege]] have him suffering one indignity after another, to the point where he declares Luffy the worst savior ever after Luffy decides to carry him around like a backpack since he's injured.
* CatFolk: He is a lion Mink.
* CurbStompBattle: Pekoms' fight with Caribou could barely even be called that, as Caribou failed to even scratch him and was absolutely ''pulverized'' in one Haki-imbued punch.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:In ch. 834, even after being tied down and about to be shot down to a sea infested with deadly fishes, he shouts to Bege that this insubordination (shooting down Big Mom's crew) shall not go unpunished. Bege then shoots him.]]
* {{Delinquents}}: Was implied by Wanda to have been one in his younger days.
* DramaticIrony: After [[spoiler:being abandoned by Capone Bege on Zou, he believes he's expected back at Whole Cake Island and that Bege will be reprimanded for his actions, unaware that even ''his partner Tamago'' believes that Bege did the right thing by abandoning him]]. However, Tamago is willing to beg Big Mom to take him back as seen below so he does still care for his partner.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** Pekoms has family and friends in Zou who he truly cares about, and is willing to spare the Straw Hats upon finding out that they saved them. [[spoiler:His associate Bege [[BeingPersonalIsntProfessional doesn't have the same sentiments and shoots him as punishment for letting his feelings get in the way]].]]
** [[spoiler:During the defeat of the Nox Pirates 5 years ago, he was in tears begging Big Mom to spare Pedro who Pekoms claimed was like a brother.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: After [[spoiler:he rejects Bege's offer to be an accomplice in assassinating Big Mom, Bege shoots him into shark-infested waters to prevent him from telling anyone. It doesn't work thanks to the Sun Pirates rescuing him]].
* InstantArmor: His turtle shell is about as hard as diamond and can easily stop even bullets.
* KiAttacks: He can at least use Armament Haki.
* LegallyDead: After being shot and abandoned by Bege, he has been written off as dead by his crew. [[spoiler:[[WithFriendsLikeThese They don't have any qualms about it]].]] Although Tamago is an exception; when he found out that Pekoms might be alive he asked the soldiers to search for him, and if he was indeed alive he was going to beg Big Mom to take him back.
* LightningBruiser: Pekoms is fast enough to nonchalantly dodge Caribou's scythe, strong enough to demolish him in a single punch and shatter said scythe, and durable enough with his Devil Fruit to tank gunfire without a scratch on him.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: While recuperating [[spoiler:from being shot off a cliff]], the Sun Pirates keep him in the dark about [[spoiler:their plans to flee Big Mom's organization and that Jimbei is planning on forming an alliance with Bege rather than ratting him out]].
* MixAndMatchCritter: As a lion mink who ate a turtle Zoan fruit, he's basically a lion turtle.
* MoralMyopia: He is unquestionably loyal to an Emperor who burns down entire countries when they don't give her what she wants. Then he gets pissed when his own country is almost destroyed by another Emperor's crew when Zou don't give them what they want.
* MysteriousPast: Apart from his apparent years as a delinquent, he was once a member of the Nox Pirates, who were on a quest to find Poneglyphs, until they ran afoul Big Mom. For some reason, Pekoms abandoned his crew and joined Big Mom's while Pedro, his captain, lost fifty years of his life and their comrade Zepo was killed.
* NonchalantDodge: Pekoms casually dodges a scythe attack from Caribou. It only takes two panels and Pekoms only makes the minimum effort necessary for Caribou to miss.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:After being shot off the cliff by Capone and into shark infested waters. He's rescued by the fortunate timing of the Sun Pirates offscreen.]]
* OrnamentalWeapon: Has a sword that he never uses.
* PantheraAwesome: A very strong humanoid lion.
* PunnyName: Pekoms may come from "Peko Peko", a Japanese expression for hunger.
* RealMenWearPink: He's an anthropomorphic lion with a past of delinquency. He also walks around in a fabulous pink suit.
* RedOniBlueOni: Is the more emotional and easily provoked Red Oni compared to his reasonable Blue Oni partner Tamago.
* SharpDressedMan: Just like his partner Tamago, he wears a pink suit.
* ShoutOut: His being a lion turtle is likely a reference to the mythological creature of the same name, as well as the tarasque, a mythical French creature.
* TalkingAnimal: Pekoms is a talking lion. He's actually of the Mink race.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Is this for the Big Mom Pirates, at least to a degree. While he still carries out Big Mom's orders, he's willing to help the Straw Hats (especially after they saved his homeland) and has some sense of empathy.
* TurtlePower: Pekoms has a Turtle Zoan, making him a [[MixAndMatchCritter Lion-Turtle]] man. He can duck his head and limbs inside his shell to protect himself from harm.
* VerbalTic: Likes to add "gao" to his speeches.

!!Baron Tamago
[[quoteright:270:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tamago_anime.png]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/{{Mugihito}} (JP)

A combatant for the Big Mom Pirates and Pekoms' partner in collecting the monthly payment of sweets that Fishman Island owes Big Mom for her protection, he is introduced in Chapter 651. An extraordinarily tall man with a body shaped liked an egg, he is revealed to be a member of the Longleg tribe.

He ate the Tama Tama no Mi (Egg Egg Fruit) that turns his body into an egg, which, if cracked, will make him "reborn" into a humanoid chick with a new egg body, and then "reborn" again into a humanoid chicken if he gets cracked again, each time making him stronger than before.

He has a bounty of 429,000,000 berries.
-----
* AffablyEvil: He is as gentlemanly as a pirate can get. He is also far more reasonable and less aggressive than Pekoms.
* ArchEnemy: To Pedro, who he considers a WorthyOpponent.
* AristocratsAreEvil: While it's still unknown what exactly he is the Baron of, he still works for Big Mom.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Seems to have an egg theme going on. His name means "egg" in Japanese, and his body and face are egg-shaped. He also loves talking in egg metaphors, and wears an egg shell in addition to his pink suit. [[StevenUlyssesPerhero His Devil Fruit power is also related to eggs.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's the most polite and reasonable member of the Big Mom Pirates to be shown so far, but he's a fearsome and bloodthirsty combatant with a bounty almost as high as Luffy's.
* CameBackStrong: His Devil Fruit allows him to revive from fatal attacks stronger than he was before. He does this by splitting apart like an egg and reforming from the yolk in chicken form. He also went from Baron Tamago to "Viscount Chick" and then "Duke Chicken" as his subordinates put it.
* CulturedBadass: He's based on an aristocrat, but he's able to equal or possibly exceed Pedro in battle.
* {{Expy}}: Of ''Humpty Dumpty'', keeping with the Fairy Tale theme of the Big Mom Pirates. He also resembles [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]] in terms of design.
* EyeScream: He is blinded in his left eye, [[spoiler: which was caused by Pedro]].
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a scar running down over his left eye, and while he doesn't seem at all like a particularly evil man, he still does the bidding of [[AxeCrazy Big]] [[EvilOverlord Mom]].
* GlassesPull: When he and his forces finally corner Pedro, he does this, [[spoiler:revealing that the scar over his left eye blinded him.]]
* GratuitousFrench: Tamago says French words at the end of statements, bon. In the Viz translation, Tamago randomly substitutes English words for French cognates in his speech (such as "militaire" in place of "military").
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Pedro cuts him in half during their duel, but his Devil Fruit power just causes him to split apart like an egg and come back to life. This is repeated again with the same results, so Pedro gets wise and switches to explosives.
* MadeOfIron: Even after getting blown up with loads of dynamites, he (as Duke Chicken) turns up okay in the next chapter.
* MeaningfulName: "Tamago" means "egg", which is quite fitting considering his body and face shape. His devil fruit power is also egg based.
* NiceHat: It doubles as a cup of tea.
* OneWingedAngel: His Devil Fruit power basically causes him to do this every time his body is split, ending in him becoming a massive and purportedly extremely strong rooster-man.
* OnlySaneMan: Tamago, compared to the other members seen so far, seems to be the most reasonable and calm.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Pekoms' Red. As stated above, he's far more reasonable and less aggressive than Pekoms.
* SharpDressedMan: Is pretty dapper for an underling of Big Mom. Just look at his page image!
* ShoutOut: Tamago has long legs, an egg-shaped body, and a mustache, like [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]]. Even his name (see above) translates to "Egg Baron"!
* SinisterShades: Wears a pair of triangular ones. Despite his affiliations, he's more affable and reasonable than most of Big Mom's crew.
* TalksLikeASimile: He loves his egg metaphors.
* TopHeavyGuy: His egg-shaped upper body is quite large compared to his long, skinny legs. [[ShoutOut Just like]] [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]]. Justified in that thanks to his Devil Fruit, Tamago is a ''literal'' egg man.
* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Averted. When he starts transforming a second time, Pedro decided to attack before he could reform, trying to blow him up with a bundle of explosives. He survived, but points for effort.
* VerbalTic: Likes to add "bon" or other French words at the end of his sentences, bon.
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler: He sees Pedro as this, as both of them blinded the other during Pedro's raid on Big Mom's territories 5 years ago]].

!!Charlotte Pudding
[[quoteright:229:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charlotte_pudding_casual_outfit.png]]

-->Voiced by: Creator/MiyukiSawashiro

A member of the Charlotte Family (though seemingly not a member of the crew), she is Big Mom's 35th daughter and Sanji's intended bride-to-be. She works as a chocolatier and cafe owner on Cacao Island. She first appears in Chapter 824 in a photo, and makes a full-body appearance in Chapter 827. She ate the Memory-Memory Fruit (''Memo Memo no Mi'') which allows her to view any person's memories and make any changes to alter them.

-----

* AdaptationalCurves: In the anime she is more buxom than in the manga.
* {{Adorkable}}: Subverted. Her relationship with Straw Hats and her love of Sanji is initially cute and she is blushing like a kid when they congratulate her. Then TheReveal comes. [[spoiler:Then somewhat rebuilt by Chapter 862, where a compliment from Sanji about her third eye flusters her to the point of tears.]]
* ApologisesALot: After hearing of the Vinsmokes' ''horrendous'' treatment of Sanji and how he was "[[{{Blackmail}} persuaded]]" into marrying Pudding, Pudding switches between being horrified, crying, and apologizing for inconveniencing him.[[spoiler:Too bad it's all an act and she doesn't care about him at all. To add insult to injury, she even mocks how he fell for her crocodile tears later on]].
* ArmorPiercingAttack: [[spoiler: She owns a powerful revolver with special bullets that can pierce the [[SuperToughness hardened body]] of SuperSoldier Vinsmoke Reiju]].
* ArmorPiercingQuestion:
--> '''Pudding''': ''[[spoiler: I've deceived thousands of people like this!]]''\\
'''Sanji''': [[spoiler: And were you yourself one of them, Pudding?]]
* ArrangedMarriage: With Sanji. Both would've liked it if it didn't mean tearing Sanji away from the Straw Hat pirates and his dream of finding the All Blue. [[spoiler:And both would've liked it if Pudding [[BreakTheCutie hadn't snapped as a kid]] and become a bitter, angry, manipulative BitchInSheepsClothing sent by Big Mom to lure Sanji and his family into an alliance that was a complete farce to begin with, so Big Mom can wipe them out [[Series/GameOfThrones Red Wedding-style]]]].
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: Her true personality. She's a sadistic psychopath much like her mother, and she takes great joy in fooling the Straw Hats and telling them to their faces that they're going to die. She also shot Reiju with an armor-piercing bullet, which caused Reiju to bleed profusely from her legs, and then messed with Reiju's memories to get away with it]].
* BaitTheDog: [[spoiler: Was introduced as a seemingly nice girl who genuinely had Sanji's interests in mind, only to reveal her cruel and sadistic nature later on. What's extra heartbreaking is that she was the ''one'' positive thing Sanji had going for him in the arc... and he had to see her deception with his own eyes.]]
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: She's among the few of Big Mom's many children that look conventionally pretty and as such she's more morally upright than many of her siblings. [[spoiler: Except she's actually just as bad as her mother and intentionally uses her looks to craft a faux NiceGirl image, making her actually a case of BeautyIsBad. Slightly [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] though because she has a ThirdEye that makes her much more unsettling looking to match her personality better]].
* BerserkButton:
** Just like her groom-to-be, her button is wasting food. She gets angry that her chocolate building wasn't completely eaten rather than the fact that Luffy and Chopper were basically causing property damage.
** [[spoiler: She also has another one... one that she shows with her genuine personality. She ''really'' doesn't like people being perverted towards her, [[PervertRevengeMode being overcome with rage]] and the desire to kill [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]] on the spot when he has a {{Nosebleed}} while talking to her]].
** The biggest one, though? [[spoiler: Calling her ThirdEye hideous. After one mocking too many, it becomes her "kill horribly" button. When [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]] becomes the first person to [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe her third eye "beautiful"]], it shocks her so much that she's reduced to genuine BrokenTears.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: She's pretending to be nice. In truth, after reaching her breaking point, she became as AxCrazy as most of her older/younger siblings.]]
* BrokenBird: As of Chapter 862, she's revealed to be this. [[spoiler: A disastrous childhood combination of family and strangers alike calling her ThirdEye freakish made her snap and become the monster they all called her. Sanji calling her third eye beautiful affects her so much that she collapses in tears.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: She looked rather uncomfortable and perhaps fearful of Big Mom as she ate her subordinates in her early appearance [[spoiler:in the Fishman Island arc]], which seems to contradict her later characterization as [[spoiler:a violent psychopath who enjoys working for her mom]]. 862, however, shows that [[spoiler: Big Mom used to verbally/emotionally abuse her when she was young, coupled with how she's aware that Big Mom's "love" of her is limited to how useful she is, it looks like the fear was genuine.]]
* ConsummateLiar: [[spoiler: She's an expert actor and quite a snake, successfully fooling the Straw Hats and Vinsmokes into believing she was a good person.]]
** [[spoiler: She's so good, that during the wedding, Sanji starts to question himself if perhaps what he saw earlier was all just a bad dream or his imagination. Though his love for beautiful women doesn't help either.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: Pudding is the three-eyed woman sitting next to Big Mom in Chapter 651. She keeps her ThirdEye hidden when she is properly introduced and only reveals it when she shows her true nature.]]
** ChekhovsGun: Her [[spoiler:third eye]] itself, considering that [[spoiler: Sanji calling it beautiful is what triggers her tearful breakdown.]]
* CreepyChild: [[spoiler: When little Pudding snapped after all the abuse, she stabbed one of her bullies with a knife with a SlasherSmile and angry tears falling from her three eyes.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: During her VillainousBreakdown after Sanji tells her that her ThirdEye is beautiful, a TroubledBackstoryFlashback shows that Pudding's past [[BreakTheCutie wasn't exactly easy]]. [[AbusiveParents Big Mom]] may have wanted the powers of said ThirdEye but she told her to hide it under her bangs because it looks weird. Plus [[BigBrotherBully her older siblings]] called her a monster and she was bullied by other children for her eye [[ThenLetMeBeEvil until she snapped on them]] [[AxeCrazy with a knife]].]]
* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:After revealing [[EvilAllAlong her true character]] to Reiju, she wonders how her husband-to-be Sanji would think of her now, unaware that Sanji himself had just witnessed all that had transpired right outside her window, [[BrokenTears with a completely heartbroken look on his face]]]].
* EvilAllAlong: As of Chapter 850, Pudding reveals that [[spoiler:she's been playing ''everyone'' for fools -- the Vinsmokes, Sanji, Luffy, and Nami are all fooled by her, and she plans on executing every last one of them]].
* EvilGloating: Not long after she [[spoiler:reveals her deception to Reiju and, inadvertently, Sanji, who's eavesdropping outside her room, she goes on to mock Sanji's declaration of love to her and how pathetic he both looked and sounded while doing so, even making faces just to drive home the point of her cruelty.]]
* EvilerThanThou: She laughs at the notion of [[spoiler:the Germa 66 being a "mythical evil army"]], calling them naive and [[spoiler:mocking Reiju about how they have no idea what they're dealing with regarding the Big Mom Pirates.]]
* FakeMemories: [[spoiler:While it's not known if she can create false memories outright, she can falsify other people's memories thanks to her Devil Fruit.]]
* FamilyThemeNaming: Shares this with most of her siblings; she's named after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pudding pudding]], a dish that is usually a sweet dessert, but can be savory as well.
* {{Foil}}: To Reiju. [[spoiler: Both are expert actors who hide their true nature and were at different times Sanji's "ray of hope". Pudding hides her sadistic nature behind an innocent face, while Reiju hides her compassion and empathy behind an aloof, cold-hearted façade. Pudding fooled Sanji into loving her and Reiju had to distance herself from Sanji despite greatly caring for her brother. Pudding is Sanji's false hope and betrayed him at his lowest, Reiju actually rescued Sanji in his darkest day. The contrast is most prominent in chapter 850, when they meet face to face: Pudding gleefully breaks character by revealing her contempt for Sanji and sadistic nature, while Reiju remains calm and composed "in character". Plus, both were abused by their parents in different ways (Judge modified Reiju so she wouldn't go against him, Big Mom mocked Pudding for her ThirdEye and sees her as more of a potential tool than anything else) and said abuse shaped them, with Reiju as a BrokenBird StepfordSmiler and Pudding as a BitchInSheepsClothing WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds]].
** Also to her groom-to-be, Sanji. [[spoiler:Both were horrifically abused in their childhoods, with Sanji being seen as a weak waste of space by his father and brothers, while Pudding was seen and treated as a monster for having a third eye. But while Sanji had love and support in the form of his (dead) mother and sister, Reiju, Pudding had no one to turn to, and the years of suffering torment alone caused her to become a thoroughly BrokenBird and {{Jerkass}} par none. Sanji is still a nice guy underneath his JerkWithAHeartOfGold tendencies, while Pudding wears a sweet and lovable mask to hide the broken nastiness underneath.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** In hindsight, her [[spoiler:deceitful nature and skill in lying]] was hinted at in her first appearance. She shows up and effortlessly [[spoiler:lies to some police officers in order to get Luffy and Chopper off the hook for eating the chocolate cafe.]]
** "Nitro the Jelly" appearing with her in her "debut" was also a clue to the audience that she was [[spoiler: the same three-eyed girl seen in chapter 651]], as she appeared with her blob pet then too, though his face could not be seen at the time.
** [[spoiler: What's more, she was the one who came up with the plan to have Sanji "meet" the Straw Hats at a rendezvous spot near Big Mom's castle. When the crew got there, Sanji was nowhere to be found and the crew was attacked both by the Wandering Woods, her sister Brulee and not long after, Cracker. To say that was a bit more than a coincidence is an understatement.]]
* FreakinessShame: She apparently hides something about herself that she finds shameful to everyone. [[spoiler:Because of her ThirdEye, she was horribly mocked about it by little kids and her own siblings; even her mom called it "weird" and told her to hide it under her bangs. She eventually came to believe [[IAmAMonster she was a monster too]] and started acting like one. Part of the plan to assassinate the Vinsmokes was to take advantage of Sanji's expected shock and disgust when he first sees her third eye after lifting her veil to shoot him in the face.]] Sanji calling her [[spoiler:third eye]] "[[FreakyIsCool beautiful]]" after seeing it up close for the first time causes her to break down in sincere tears.
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: Not ''only'' was she raised by the [[EvilMatriarch psychopathic Big Mom]] (who's known to instill horrible values into her children), but she was also viciously bullied as a child for her ThirdEye and was driven to insanity, coming to believe that she really was the creepy monstrosity everybody said she was. Having her enemy call her extra eye "beautiful" immediately causes her to suffer a VillainousBreakdown from the conflict of emotions.]]
* GirlishPigtails: Wearing them in the photo Sanji is shown of her, which is her first appearance. She also wears them in her debut chapter.
* GoodEyesEvilEyes: [[spoiler:Though she has big, round, PuppyDogEyes whenever she's putting on her NiceGirl act, they become noticeably sharper and more dangerous looking when she's being [[{{Jerkass}} herself]]]].
* HalfHumanHybrid: It's mentioned that she's a half breed [[spoiler:of the three-eyed tribe.]]
* HandCannon: [[spoiler:The barrel of her revolver is easily the size of her ''forearm''.]]
* HateSink: [[spoiler: Immediately disliked by both Reiju and Luffy once she reveals who she really is. She loves making fun of Sanji's kindness, situation and faces, and the shocked reactions of the people she tricked. Everything she says and does, once she shows her true colors, makes her thoroughly unlikable. It's revealed that there are good reasons behind that, however]].
* HoneyTrap: [[spoiler:Was sent by Big Mom to attract and marry Sanji so she can lure his family into entering an alliance that was a complete farce to begin with, allowing Big Mom to murder all the Vinsmokes (and the Straw Hats), [[Series/GameOfThrones Red Wedding-style]]]].
* InelegantBlubbering: She cries her heart out, snot bubbles and all, when Sanji shares his woes with her. [[spoiler: Turns out she's a ''great'' actress and it was all a part of her ploy]].
** She does it again when Sanji calls her [[spoiler:ThirdEye]] "beautiful" during the wedding ceremony. [[spoiler: The flashbacks that come from this, showing her DarkAndTroubledPast, show that '''this''' time [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds she's crying]] [[CryCute for real]].]]
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler: She tells Reiju about how her power works while in the process of giving her LaserGuidedAmnesia and talks about "If you ever have a piece of your past you want to forget about...". [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Considering Pudding's own past]], [[TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes it seems she needs it herself badly.]] Tragically, Pudding may be ''unable'' to use her own power on herself, otherwise she probably would've done it already.]]
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She is deeply in love with Sanji, but is willing to let him go for the sake of his friends. [[spoiler: Pudding is intentionally playing this trope to make unknowing people trust her. She doesn't care about Sanji and plans to kill him off, along with the rest of his family and the Straw Hats]].
* {{Jerkass}}: [[spoiler: Her true colors are that of a cruel psychopath who enjoys mocking the victims of her excellent [[ConsummateLiar acting]] skills, and with the knowledge of her true nature, every "sweet" and "kind" thing she said and did while she was pretending to be good paints her as ''incredibly'' heinous.]]
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Twice, with a third indirect example: [[spoiler:She tells Luffy about the plan to kill Sanji, the Straw Hats, and the Vinsmoke family, since he's currently trapped in a book prison and can't share the information. She also tells Reiju about the plan, but edits her memories so she won't remember any of it. Lastly, she and Big Mom go over the plan once again, while a captured Brook was in earshot. All three times are justified in that there was no way the truth could have normally leaked out, but unfortunately for her, all three times end up biting her in the ass due to unforeseeable events. Jimbei ends up breaking Luffy out, making him that much more motivated to spoil the event, [[RightInFrontOfMe Sanji happened to be nearby]] when Pudding confessed to Reiju and overheard the entire plan, and immediately tells her the truth, and the rest of the Straw Hats managed to break Brook out by the skin of their teeth.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: There is no good reason to [[EvilGloating reveal her family's plans]] -- to kill Sanji and the rest of the Vinsmokes -- to Reiju and Luffy other than to see their pained expressions. She removes Reiju's memory of it, but Luffy is left to suffer with the knowledge because she thinks he's never getting out.]]
* KillerRabbit: [[spoiler: Despite seeming seemingly harmless, she was able to injure and capture the superhuman Reiju with ease]].
* KnifeNut: [[spoiler: After finally snapping from the abuse, she got her revenge on some bullies as a child by chasing them down and stabbing them with a knife, to their horror. She also clumsily brandishes a knife against the Straw Hats when she first meets them, although at that point, she was still putting on her NiceGirl act and was most likely merely pretending to not know how to handle a knife]].
* LackOfEmpathy:
** [[spoiler: She ''laughs'' at her own cruel deception of the Straw Hats and Vinsmokes, which says a lot about her personality considering this is coming ''after'' Sanji told her about his family woes (on top of her already knowing firsthand what hardships this marriage was putting him and his crew through).]]
** She also was on the receiving end, [[spoiler: from her family (starting with her mother) and other children, due to her ThirdEye.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: Pudding possesses the power of the Memo-Memo-Fruit, which allows her to alter and remove the memories of her victims.]]
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Like Mother, Unlike Daughter in her case. Pudding is a sweet-hearted, beautiful, normal-sized woman who is a chocolatier and a SupremeChef who greatly contrasts her mother, an insane BigEater and a huge {{Gonk}}. Nami and Brook [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] how Big Mom was able to birth such a kind person like Pudding. [[spoiler:The lampshade may have been foreshadowing. Physically they're different but her [[{{Sadist}} real personality]] shows she [[UsedtoBeASweetKid became]] her mother's daughter]].
* LoveAtFirstSight: Sanji's smooth attitude, similar love for cooking as hers, and charms immediately caused her to fall in love with him. [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Though as much as she'd like to marry him, she's unwilling to snatch him away from the Straw Hats]]. [[spoiler:Except the part where she doesn't love him at all]].
* MasterActor: [[spoiler: She can give the main antagonist of ''Anime/{{Kampfer}}'' a run for her money in this, and that character is so convincing, ''the audience'' suspects she has a split personality disorder of some sort.]]
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: She's the ''35th'' daughter of the Charlotte family. She's not even the youngest child, as she has four younger sisters and ''46'' brothers.
* MeaningfulName: As mentioned above, she's named after a dish that can be either sweet or savory. "Pudding" is also used as a term of endearment, usually between married couples (which is ironic since she and Sanji were in an ArrangedMarriage but don't want to get married due to conflict of interests).
* NeverBeHurtAgain: [[spoiler:The reason for her behavior: after being bullied one too many times as a child, she snapped and stabbed anyone who'd dare laugh at her for her ThirdEye.]]
* NiceGirl: Very much so. Unlike her cruel mother, Pudding is an absolute sweetheart. Nami notes she's "far too forgiving" upon meeting her, while Brook wonders if she's really Big Mom's daughter at all. [[spoiler:Except she ''isn't'' nice at all. She's actually one of Big Mom's favourite children, and sadistic enough to feign kindness to the Straw Hats and Sanji just to get them to drop their guard. It works, and she plans to slaughter all of them on her mother's orders. The bits of niceness she ''did'' have [[UsedToBeASweetKid as a child]] all but disappeared [[ThenLetMeBeEvil when she snapped]], and even after TheReveal of 862, it's not a sure thing they'll ever be back.]]
* NightmareFace: [[spoiler:For such a pretty girl, her third eye and creepily satisfied laugh as she reveals her true nature to Reiju makes for a ''very'' effective one.]]
* ParentalFavoritism: [[spoiler: She states that she's Big Mom's favorite and spoiled heavily. Though Big Mom seems to only do so because of her third eye and believing that once it opens that it'll lead her to Raftel and be her key to becoming the Pirate King. While Pudding enjoys the perks, she is annoyed by Big Mom constantly asking about if her third eye has awakened its power yet.]]
* PeekABangs: [[spoiler: In an unusual application of this trope, she uses her bangs to cover a ''third'' eye on her forehead. In fact, Big Mom expressly told her to grow her bangs out to hide it.]]
* PersonalityPowers: [[spoiler:While she's already a skillful liar, her power to modify memories just helps her true, duplicitous nature.]]
* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: Or it would be if Sanji wasn't so attached to the Straw-Hats. Sanji loves her (natch), she loves him, and she's even a great cook like Sanji, as Luffy and Chopper can attest. They'd really be just about perfect for one another. [[spoiler: If only she had not snapped from the shit she went through, and her nice personality wasn't all an act]].
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler: She has ruby-tinted red eyes, a narrative hint that she's not quite what she appears]].
* TheReveal:
** In chapter 850. [[spoiler: She reveals to Reiju (and Luffy and Nami via a Flashback) that she's been EvilAllAlong, was helping her mother manipulate the Straw Hats from the start, and that the alliance with the Vinsmokes is really just a ploy to get them all in one spot and murder them. She also reveals that she has a ThirdEye on her forehead.]]
** There is another in 862: [[spoiler: She was EvilAllAlong, yes, but she wasn't ''born'' evil and had a terrible past ''because'' of her ThirdEye.]]
* RevolversAreJustBetter: [[spoiler: Her WeaponOfChoice is a very large revolver with special "candy-jacketed bullets" that can even pierce through the hardened body of a SuperSoldier like Reiju. Befitting her royal status, it seems to be pretty advanced for the One Piece world as it appears to lack the usual flintlock mechanic.]]
* RoyalBrat: Subverted. While her family is rich, she herself [[spoiler: used to be sweet, but then snapped and became evil after the bullying over her third eye became too much]]. Also, though her mother dotes on her greatly, Pudding actually is tired of her mother's over-protection and spoiling of her and would rather [[NonIdleRich do things her own way]]. [[spoiler: Not to mention that her childhood wasn't pleasant at all.]]
* {{Sadist}}: [[spoiler: A ConsummateLiar, who [[LackOfEmpathy doesn't care about anyone]] and even gets sick of her mother pampering her, she successfully plays off the innocent NiceGirl and enjoys Luffy's reaction when she reveals the truth about herself. She also goes completely out of her way to shoot and then reveal herself to Reiju for no other reason than to torment her.]]
* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:Combined with her hidden ThirdEye, it makes one hell of a NightmareFace.]] Later, we see it again in a flashback, [[spoiler: but unlike the former example, [[DarkAndTroubledPast it's much]] [[TearJerker more heartbreaking]] [[FreudianExcuse to see]]]].
* SupremeChef: Also like Sanji. Her café was made from a homemade chocolate, and as [[BigEater Luffy]] and [[GeniusSweetTooth Chopper]] can testify, it was drop-dead delicious. [[spoiler:She's also an EvilChef.]]
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Her mom is a terrifyingly huge {{Gonk}}. She's of normal size and proportions, and extremely pretty [[spoiler:even with her supposedly freakish and ugly ThirdEye, as Sanji can attest.]].
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: [[spoiler: After being called a monster and bullied one too many times, a very young Pudding went CreepyChild and chased her bullies with a knife. This caried over into adulthood, which is why she became such a sadist.]]
* ThirdEye: [[spoiler: She has three eyes, the third of which is on her forehead. She hid this from the Straw Hats for most of the time using her hair. According to Big Mom, it should help her read the Poneglyphs' content without understanding the language, like how Roger used his mysterious ability of "hearing the voices of all things" to read Poneglyphs. Said third eye is also a great source of self-loathing for Pudding, as everyone around her called it a creepy, monstrous thing.]]
* TransferableMemory: [[spoiler:Thanks to her Devil Fruit, the ''Memo Memo no Mi'', she can alter people's memories by making them tangible in the form of a film reel, and edit or remove them as she pleases.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler: The flashback at 862 shows that Pudding used to be a normal little girl, save for her ThirdEye. Then, all the verbal and physical abuse coming from [[AbusiveParents Big Mom]], [[BigBrotherBully her older siblings]] and [[KidsAreCruel other kids]] piled up... and she snapped. Now she's one hell of a JerkAss and a willing accomplice in Big Mom's schemes.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Despite everything she's done, Sanji still calls her third eye "beautiful". Having spent her whole life being bullied by others (''[[AbusiveParents including Big Mom]]'') for her supposedly "freakish" appearance, Sanji's [[FreakyIsCool sincere admiration of her third eye]] causes her to have a sobbing meltdown on the spot, unable to shoot him]].
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: Everything about her is a lie. Her whole innocent image is crushed with a WhamShot revealing her third eye and sadistic nature. And then, later, even ''those'' perceptions are shaken as it's shown '''what''' exactly led her to become such a huge JerkAss (in the form of a TroubledBackstoryFlashback, which wouldn't happen if she was lying again), and that she's genuinely moved by Sanji's admiration of her third eye.]]
* WhamLine: She gets at least two:
-->'''Pudding''': [[spoiler: "Quit dreaming you fool! Me, marrying that little punk? '''Never in a billion years!'''"]]
-->'''Pudding''': [[spoiler: "What the Hell is that idiot saying?! Are you kidding me?! Never once, ever since the day I was born, not a single time... '''No one has ever called this eye "beautiful"...!'''"]]
* WhamShot:
** [[spoiler:During her EvilAllAlong moment, the panel zooms in on her creepy NightmareFace and her exposed ThirdEye, revealing herself as the then-unnamed three-eyed girl sitting with Big Mom in the Fishman Island arc. Combined with the aforementioned WhamLine above this trope, it makes the scene as creepy as it sounds.]]
** There's another in 862, [[spoiler:specifically about how ''all three of her eyes'' start tearing, and it shows her [[CryCute crying sincere tears]] after Sanji called her ThirdEye [[FreakinessShame beautiful]]. It's followed by a flashback of her DarkAndTroubledPast.]]
* WhyCantIHateYou: [[spoiler:After Sanji gives her ThirdEye its first compliment ever, Pudding collapses sobbing on her knees, desperately trying to convince herself to kill her groom-to-be just like she planned with Big Mom, but is left unable to due to her conflicted emotions. She then tries to compose herself and shoot Sanji directly, but her eyes are still tearing and Sanji keeps questioning about her motives]].
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]; Her brother Daifuku slaps her across the face for failing to kill Sanji and then attempts to get the job done himself]].

!!Charlotte Brulee
[[quoteright:269:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_1246.PNG]]
-->Voiced By: Yuko Mita

The 8th daughter of the Charlotte family and a powerful resident of the Seducing Woods. Consumption of the Mirror-Mirror Devil Fruit (''Mira Mira no Mi'') gave her power over mirrors, allowing Brulee to reflect attacks, travel places through mirrors, and create exact {{Doppelganger}}s of her enemies, complete with the same Devil Fruit powers if her target(s) is a Devil Fruit user. She appears in full in Chapter 832.
-----
* AnimeHair: Her hair sticks out in four different directions.
* BreakingSpeech: Gives one to Nami, saying how many so-called big name pirates (including Eustass Kid, Scratchmen Apoo, Capone Bege and Urouge) met a proverbial dead end when they crossed Big Mom's territory, that they're all terrified just like what Nami is experiencing currently, and proclaims that they'll never even know what Big Mom looks like.
* TheChewToy: Following [[spoiler:her defeat at the hands of Chopper and Carrot, she has been reduced to this. First, she's put in a bag worn by Chopper to exploit her powers, than she's given TickleTorture to tell how to find the others, then when she's giving a BreakingSpeech to the Sanji Retrieval Team that it's hopeless to escape, she gets a ShutUpHannibal snub, then finally, when she tries to alert Big Mom, she gets BoundAndGagged. Her HumiliationConga could rival Caesar Clown's, and just like him, all of it is PlayedForLaughs.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler: After an entire arc of being humiliated, abused and exploited by the Strawhat-Firetank Pirates Alliance, Brulee finally gets a moment of revenge by using her powers to block Caesar's escape.]]
* {{Doppelganger}}: She's able to create exact duplicates of whomever and whatever she wants. It's worth noting that she's the first Devil User powerful enough to be able to replicate ''Devil Fruit powers''.
* EvilLaugh: Her SignatureLaugh, "Wiwwiwwiwwi".
* EvilMakesYouUgly: Inverted. Whatever gave her that ugly facial scar turned her into a sadistic GreenEyedMonster who hates people with pretty faces.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Shares this with most of his siblings; she's named after the Crème brûlée.
* FearfulSymmetry: Brulee has the ability to disguise herself as people's reflections, and when Luffy tried attacking her (as his doppelganger), she automatically matched his every technique. It's rather notable as it's the first Devil Fruit power in the series that gives somebody the ability to mimic another Devil Fruit power perfectly. She can also act on her own and force the person she's copying to mirror her actions against their will. It's part of her Mirror-Mirror Fruit ability.
* GagNose: Has a long, dark nose that makes her look like an evil witch. It's one thing she inherited from Big Mom.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a nasty-looking gash running across her face, and she's loyal to her mother Big Mom.
* {{Gonk}}: She's rather ugly-looking, though whatever gave her her facial scarring added to her appearance and [[GreenEyedMonster made her envious of pretty people]].
* GreenEyedMonster: Hates people who have pretty faces. When she sees the pretty-faced [[MsFanservice Nami]] and [[BadassAdorable Carrot]], it made her want to slice them up.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Her mirror power allows her to turn other things into an exact replica of another person. [[spoiler:Chopper and Carrot trick her by faking to be captured and, using a frog that Brulee mistakenly made to look like Carrot, they manage to set up an ambush and take out Brulee and the rest of her group. And while they're at it, Carrot drenches Brulee in the same hot soup that she planned to drop fake Carrot into.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:You try to drop a rabbit mink into a boiling soup, and you are the one who's gonna get scalded instead, as Brulee found out the hard way.]]
* LeanAndMean: She's a nasty, stick-looking woman who hates beautiful people and threatens to hurt Carrot ''for being more adorable than her''. Luffy mistook her for a tree branch when he saw her standing on a tree.
* MagicMirror: Her Devil Fruit, the Mirror Mirror Fruit (''Mira Mira no Mi''), allows her to create those. Applications include the standard AttackReflector, FearfulSymmetry and MirrorUniverse CrystalPrison. She can also use mirrors to teleport to one place to another, as long as those places have mirrors, and she can simply create one to do so.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: The 8th daughter out of Big Mom's ''39 daughters'', making her one of the older ones. And let's not get into her ''45 brothers''.
* MeaningfulName: She's named after the "creme brulee", a dessert which has a caramelized surface from being scorched with a butane torch or the flambeing technique. Brulee has a disfiguring facial scar on her face, and has an envious hatred of beautiful people.
* PocketDimension: Has what she calls the "Mirror World" - she's able to trap people in it, like what she did to Chopper and Carrot.
* ShoutOut:
** Her appearance and introduction is based on a Japanese urban legend of a malicious spirit called Kuchisake-onna (slith-mouthed woman), who asks hapless women to comment on her GlasgowGrin and depending on the answer, she will either slice their mouth (if they say she looks beautiful) or kill them (if they say she looks awful). The only way of escape is to stall her by answering 'not sure' and running away.
** She's also meant to be this for the Evil Queen from ''Disney/SnowWhite'', as they share {{Gonk}} appearances and envy of attractive people, and mirror themes.
** Also, when she was trying to cook Carrot, she was in a biscuit house, like Hansel and Gretel's witch.
* SquishyWizard: Her devil fruit is very versatile, but she's taken down easily first by Nami, and then by Chopper and Carrot. Bonus point for resembling a witch.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Barring the scar, she pretty much looks like a thin version of Big Mom.
* TickleTorture: Subjected to this by Carrot in chapter 851.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Seriously thought Luffy and Nami would fall like the previous guys who tried to fight the Charlotte Family[=/=]Big Mom Pirates. [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome She's later proven wrong]].
** Ditto with Chopper and Carrot later.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Katakuri threatens her for helping the Straw Hats after finally freeing her from them. Brulee begs for mercy from her brother and tries to explain that she was acting against her will.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: According to a SBS, Big Mom gave birth to her first child 42 years ago, meaning that Brulee is at ''most'' only 42 and very likely only in her ''30s''.

[[folder: Allies & Affiliates]]
!!Sun Pirates
Jimbei's pirate crew, formed of Fishmen and Mermen. It is allied with Big Mom's crew as a result of marriage between first mate Aladine and one of Big Mom's daughters.

->See their entry on the [[Characters/OnePieceTheSevenWarlordsOfTheSeaCrews Seven Warlords of the Sea Crews]] page.

!!Firetank Pirates
Capone "Gang" Bege's pirate crew, resembling a mafia family in both appearance and organization. The crew appears to be extremely loyal to their captain, and base their power around Bege's Devil Fruit abilities to lethal effect. At some point during the time skip, they fell under the command of Big Mom. Notable members include [[TheDragon Vito]] and [[TheBrute Gotti]].

For more info on Bege himself, see his entry on the [[Characters/OnePieceTheElevenSupernovas Eleven Supernovas]] page.

* AffablyEvil: Vito comes off as this, eagerly showing his respect and interest towards Sanji and acting rather polite, even when he's not being treated with the same respect.
* ArmCannon: Similar to Scotch[[note]]Not the yeti, but Kaido's subordinate[[/note]], Gotti has a massive gattling gun fused to his right arm. In ch. 865, it's switched to one of Caesar's poison-filled rockets.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Most of the Firetank Pirates members wear a simple business suit, with a BadassCape draped over it.
* BerserkButton: Gotti doesn't like it if his fellow member got insulted, such that he threatened to kill Sanji for it. Luckily he's reminded that Sanji shouldn't be harmed or else his boss will get punished.
* CombatPragmatist: Their usual strategy seems to be waiting for their enemies to get too close to their captain, and then rushing out all at once to surprise and surround them.
* TheConsigliere: Vito acts as this, as the adviser in a mafia-based crew.
* FanBoy: Vito is one for [[ShowWithinAShow a comic strip in World Economic Times newspaper]] about a young boy who fights an evil organization. Specifically, he's the fan for that evil organization, Germa 66 - whose leader is Sanji's father. He's so much of a fanboy that [[spoiler:when he saw Bobbin running after Sanji, he shot the former down, citing Sanji being part of the Germa for his reasoning.]]
* HandCannon: Vito wields [[GunsAkimbo two massive black revolvers]], the reason behind his epithet "Monster Gun". He's got equally big hands to match.
* IDontPayYouToThink: When they first appear in the Sabody Archipelago arc, Bege, disgusted by Jewelry Bonney's eating, wants to kill her. One of his men warns that wouldn't be a good idea as they're close to Marine Headquarters. In response, Bege ruthlessly [[EyeScream stabs the man in the eye with his fork]].
* LeanAndMean: Downplayed. Vito's tall and lean, and is part of an antagonist pirate crew, but he's quite polite.
* LennonShades: Vito's got a cool pair of round shades.
* TheMafia: The entire theme of the crew.
* ManiacTongue: Vito's got an OverlyLongTongue that he always tucks out and he's a pirate crewmember. Downplayed in that he's actually pretty nice.
* ProfessionalKiller: Gotti is introduced as the Firetank Pirates' "killer", indicating he may be their go-to for... [[DeadlyEuphemism taking care of problems]].
* SignatureLaugh: Vito's "Nyorororo".
* TattooedCrook: Vito's got some particular tattoos on his forehead and the back of both hands.
* VerbalTic: Vito often ends his speeches with "rero". Lampshaded by Luffy when the two first met.

!!Germa 66
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vinsmoke_family.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:The Vinsmoke family]]
('''Warning: MAJOR unmarked spoilers about a certain Straw Hat pirate's family follow. Continue at your own discretion''').

Also known as the Warmongers, they are a paramilitary army of the Kingdom of Germa, led by the Vinsmoke family, with the patriarch and the land's king Vinsmoke Judge at its head. They're usually known as a mythical evil army, in no small part due to the propaganda comic strip ''Sora, Warrior of the Sea'' demonizing them, but they are very real, and possess advanced enough technology for Big Mom to want to recruit them. Other prominent members so far include the Vinsmoke children - Vinsmokes Ichiji, Niji and Yonji are Sanji's two older and one younger fraternal quadruplet brothers, respectively, while Vinsmoke Reiju is Sanji's older sister (and the eldest child of the family).

For information on the Vinsmoke Family royalty (Judge, Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji), go to [[Characters/OnePieceOthers Others]]. For Sora (the matriarch), go to [[Characters/OnePieceHistoricalFiguresAndFlashbackCharacters Historical Figures And Flashback Characters]]. For Sanji himself, go [[Characters/OnePieceStrawHatPiratesEastBlue here]].

* AbusiveParents: Like Big Mom, Judge sure as hell isn't winning any "Parent of the Year" awards. To wit -
** Sanji was his primary target because he was the only one of his children who became a "dud"; he was kindhearted like his dead mother and he wasn't much stronger than a normal kid. Judge deemed him a failure forever in his eyes and let his brothers viciously bully him throughout most of his childhood for being so weak, even telling Sanji ''to his face'' that he has no reason to help him or raise him, since he's a disgrace to his family name. He even forced Sanji to wear an iron mask and left him in the dungeons to rot while passing off Sanji's absence as "[[DeathFakedForYou died in a training accident]]" in order for the family to start over with a clean slate ([[PetTheDog however he couldn't bring himself to let his son die so he secretly sent him meals]]). His response for being chewed out by Sanji after they saw each other for the first time in years was to "take it outside" and fight him. The events of the Totto Land arc started because Judge dragged Sanji, against his will, and blackmailed him into marrying one of Big Mom's daughters Charlotte Pudding in order to seal an alliance with the Big Mom Pirates, because to him the weak, discardable son was a much better choice than his other "precious" children. And while he did let Sanji run away from home when he was eight, the only condition he gave him was he never reveal his royal parentage to anyone.
** Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji weren't safe, either. While they were still in utero, [[spoiler:Judge performed gene modifications on them and programmed the quadruplet brothers to have an utter LackOfEmpathy]], because Judge believed VirtueIsWeakness and wanted remorseless killers that would help lead Germa 66 to greatness. The quadruplets' dead mother completely disapproved of this and [[spoiler:took a dangerous, gene modification-reversing drug that eventually killed her in hopes of saving them from becoming their father's weapons; only Sanji was saved, but his brothers weren't so lucky]]. Judge enabling his sons' ''incredibly'' bad behaviors while they were children only made it worse, turning them into irredeemable monsters as adults.
** Reiju also [[spoiler:went through the same body and mind alterations when she was a baby]], but was left with enough emotional capacity to know the moral ethics of her and her family's terrible, terrible actions. Because her brother Sanji was constantly and mercilessly abused for showing compassion, Reiju feared being treated the same and became a StepfordSmiler so her family wouldn't see her true colors. She hates Judge [[spoiler:but because she was modified by him at birth, she can't fully resist his orders, either, so she can only undermine him in secret]]. It got to the point where Reiju developed an ''incredible'' self-loathing and a wish to die so the world wouldn't be blighted by the presence of a "war machine".
* AlwaysVSexy: Save for the brutish-looking Judge who averts the trope, his children (Sanji, Reiju, Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji) and his kindhearted deceased wife (Sora) have 'V's in their names and are extremely drop-dead gorgeous.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Exaggerated to horrific extremes with Yonji. While he's technically younger due to being a quadruplet who was born after Sanji, he also participated in Ichiji and Niji's childhood bullying of Sanji without an inch of remorse. [[spoiler:It's later justified in Chapter 852 - because his humanity was surgically removed by Judge while in utero, Yonji is literally unable to feel or understand empathy. Combined with Judge teaching him and his brothers not named "Sanji" (who all received the same modifications) that MightMakesRight and VirtueIsWeakness, he sees Sanji being born a "dud" as good cause to torment him.]]
* AristocratsAreEvil: "Royalty Is Evil" in this case, despite the Vinsmokes being a BadassFamily. To wit -
** Judge, the Vinsmoke patriarch, is an utter BloodKnight who believes that MightMakesRight and VirtueIsWeakness, and a completely BadBoss who won't hesitate to use his clone army as disposable {{Human Shield}}s. [[spoiler:And in order to ensure his children shared his views, he modified them in both body and mind while they were in utero]].
** Judge's sons Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji also count. Because of his bad influence [[spoiler:and because he modified them by removing their humanity while in utero]] they grew up to be completely cruel and selfish assholes who look down on "weak" people, including their brother Sanji, whom they constantly and viciously bullied as kids without a shred of remorse. Anyone unlucky enough to serve under them are subjected to criticism and abuse, as the family cook Cosette can attest to.
** Subverted with Reiju. She takes after her kindhearted mother, but because her brother Sanji was mercilessly abused for showing compassion, she feared for her own life and pretended to act snobbish so her family wouldn't suspect a thing. She did try to entice Sanji back into the family by bringing up the perks of being royalty, but she probably didn't mean it. [[spoiler:And because of psychological modifications Judge performed on her, Reiju couldn't fully resist his orders no matter how hard she tried, and hates herself for it.]]
** The deceased Vinsmoke matriarch, Sora, completely averts this by being very loving to her children and subjects, as well as a MamaBear who strongly disapproved of her husband's plans to remove her children's empathy and took a dangerous gene surgery-reversing drug that took her life in hopes of saving them from becoming their father's weapons. Out of her four sons, however, only Sanji was successful.
** Obviously averted with Sanji, who is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who will always cook for someone the moment he sees them starving, will always help those in need ([[ChivalrousPervert especially if there's a pretty lady nearby]]), and is incredibly loyal to his Straw Hat friends.
* ArmchairMilitary: [[AvertedTrope Nope]]. Not only do they command their armies, but they directly participate in their battles as well.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Germa 66 is so militaristic and technologically advanced that the Vinsmoke family was able to conquer and rule the ''entire'' North Blue region. Even though they're not rulers of North Blue anymore (they're trying to fix that), they still possess enough fighting skill and military might to maintain their global affluence.
* BadassBaritone: The Vinsmoke quadruplets all have deep voices, but Niji's voice is the deepest of them all.
* BadassCape: Except for Sanji ([[BadassInANiceSuit who's already badass without one]]), all of them wear capes. For the reasons why they're badass, see below.
* BadassFamily: From characters' [[TheDreaded reactions to them]] and the feats they performed so far, the entire Vinsmoke Family certainly counts.
** "Black Leg" Vinsmoke Sanji is a member of the [[LightningBruiser Monster Trio]], [[BattleAura a Haki]] [[KiManipulation user]], and [[GuileHero an excellent]] [[TheChessmaster strategist]].
** "Winch Green" Vinsmoke Yonji openly challenged the [[FamedInStory Straw Hat Pirates]] to a fight, knowing that they are among the most [[TheDreaded infamous]] pirates in the entire world. He also comes back from being kicked sky-high by his older sister completely unharmed (albeit completely soaked with sea water), and manages to survive an offscreen CurbStompBattle with Sanji (albeit with a disfigured face).
** "Poison Pink" Vinsmoke Reiju managed to consume a poison virulent enough to nearly kill ''Luffy'' (who is otherwise [[AcquiredPoisonImmunity resistant to poison]]) without a single trace of damage.
** "Electric Blue" Vinsmoke Niji and "Sparking Red" Vinsmoke Ichiji, the two eldest sons of their family, ended a two-year civil war in just ''[[CurbstompBattle four hours]]''.
** Vinsmoke Judge, the family patriarch, took over the North Blue region with only his army and his fighting skills.
* BadassPrincess: Reiju, being part of the royal family, counts as a princess, and she's about as badass as her brothers. Like her brothers, she's also [[TykeBomb specifically raised and engineered]] by Judge so they would become commanders of their army.
* BadBoss: Being a BadassFamily came at the price of [[LackOfEmpathy lacking empathy]] for their soldiers and subjects, apparently. Judge looks down on "commoners" and thinks helping others is beneath the dignity of royalty [[spoiler:and psychologically modified his children (especially his sons Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji) to think the same]]. All Germa 66 soldiers are thoroughly conditioned to be utterly loyal to the Vinsmoke family, to the point where being used as a HumanShield is seen as an "enviable honor." The Vinsmoke family (save for Sanji and maybe Reiju) don't really care about the well-being of their armies, and apparently they never heard of the saying, "Armies march on their stomachs," either. They're also not above brutalizing their servants for infractions or making examples out of them, as shown with the poor cook Cosette.
* BarbaricBully: Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji's treatment of their brother Sanji when they were kids was absolutely ''horrendous''.
* BigBrotherBully:
** Played straight with Ichiji and Niji, who are the oldest of the Vinsmoke quadruplets. Their childhood treatment of Sanji was incredibly ''horrific''; Niji in particular took great delight in tormenting Sanji, laughing at his pain to the point of ''crying''. [[spoiler:It's later justified in Chapter 852 - because their humanity was surgically removed by Judge while in utero, Ichiji and Niji are literally unable to feel or understand empathy. Combined with Judge teaching them that MightMakesRight and VirtueIsWeakness, they see Sanji being born a "dud" as good cause to torment him.]]
** Subverted with Reiju, who despite being the eldest child, is so utterly terrified of being mistreated by her family not named "[[WhiteSheep Sanji]]" or "[[MissingMom Sora]]", that she put on a JerkassFacade and [[BystanderSyndrome didn't help Sanji whenever they were around]].
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: The Vinsmoke kids manage to pull this in chapter 869, all of them putting on their raid suits and doing somewhat of a SuperSentaiStance before saving the Straw Hats from the Charlotte Family]].
* BigScrewedUpFamily: The entire family is this once more of their past is revealed. Judge is a BloodKnight who fervently believes in MightMakesRight and VirtueIsWeakness, and even [[spoiler:experimented on his children so they'll adopt his values]]. This resulted in his children [[spoiler:losing their mother, Sora, who pulled a MamaBear and secretly ingested a dangerous gene modification-reversing drug to save her then-unborn quadruplet sons when Judge removed their humanity against her wishes]]. This also resulted in 1) Sanji alone [[spoiler:being saved and her health worsening until her death]], 2) Reiju becoming both a StepfordSmiler and DeathSeeker who [[spoiler:is secretly terrified of her family members not named "Sanji" or "Sora" yet hates herself for supporting them]], 3) Ichiji, Yonji, and Niji becoming monstrous RoyalBrats due to their inability to feel empathy and Judge's bad influence on them, and 4) Sanji being horrifically abused for being a weak and compassionate "dud" until he ran away while still 8-years-old. The Vinsmoke family turning out the way it did can be all traced to Judge and his violent ambitions.
* {{Bishonen}}: Sanji, Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji to varying degrees, though their brutish-looking father Judge averts it.
* BlueBlood: All members of the Vinsmoke family are this, even though they don't have an official territory to rule over anymore [[note]]Well, there is the Germa Kingdom, but it's actually pieces of land supported by interlocking ships.[[/note]]. Sanji also counts despite disowning his family at a young age.
* BrightIsNotGood: As seen on their folder image, the Vinsmokes (save for [[SharpDressedMan Sanji]] and [[MissingMom Sora]]) all wear brightly-colored raid suits that pertain to their [[RedBaron epithets]] - Reiju's is [[PinkIsFeminine pink]], Ichiji's is red, Niji's is blue, Yonji's is green, and Judge's is a golden orange. That being said, save for [[TokenGoodTeammate Reiju]], none of the Vinsmokes are nice people.
* BulletproofHumanShield: It's possible for any Germa 66 soldier to become this, either by command or by their own willingness. Judge even calls this trope an "enviable honor". And as seen in the war on Broccoli Island, their body can apparently completely block bullets, without harming their boss.
* CainAndAbel:
** Played straight with Sanji's older and younger fraternal quadruplet brothers, who are the Cain to his Abel. [[spoiler:Because Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji had their empathy removed by Judge while in utero and were taught that MightMakesRight and VirtueIsWeakness]], they viciously bullied Sanji for being "weak" and compassionate, to the point of making Sanji run away from home at the age of eight just to escape their abuse. Out of Sanji's brothers, however, Niji is the most outspoken in expressing his hatred of Sanji, to the point of ''trying to kick him'' during a family dinner dispute. On Sanji's end, he hates all of his brothers' guts, and even disfigured Yonji's face offscreen when they met each other again. Niji's mistreatment and spiteful attacking of Cosette [[HateSink further lowers himself in Sanji's eyes]].]]
** Averted with Reiju. She greatly cares for Sanji, but [[BystanderSyndrome avoided helping Sanji while he was being bullied by their brothers]] because she feared for her own life if she ever decided to show "weakness" in front of her family - that is, anyone who's not "Sanji" or "Sora". She was responsible for secretly dressing up Sanji's wounds during downtime, freeing Sanji from the dungeons after Judge left him there to rot, and helping Sanji run away to East Blue, all while telling him to find people who will give him the proper love and attention he needs.
* CloneArmy: The Germa 66 foot-soldiers are revealed to be this, as Yonji shows Sanji the [[MookMaker secret underground cloning lab]] full of PeopleJars containing types of soldiers. They apparently know of this lab ever since they were kids, but haven't been able to enter it until now. They're apparently cloned from some select few strong individuals, they're programmed to be fearless and utterly loyal, and they can grow up to full maturity in just 5 years. Also none of the clones aware that they're clones.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: The Vinsmoke Family members (except Sanji of course) wear something called "raid suits" in combat. The mooks note that Sanji is badass enough to fight without it.
* TheCoup: Apparently several years ago, the Vinsmoke family took over the North Blue region, killing its previous leaders, and ruled over it with its military might. This is what made the Vinsmoke family and by extension their Germa 66 armies so infamous. It's currently unknown how and why they stopped ruling the North Blue, but Judge, the Vinsmoke patriarch, wants to rule it again, implying they were eventually overthrown.
* CynicismCatalyst: Implied. Judge Vinsmoke states that Sanji takes after his long dead mother, Sora, and that while she was alive, the Vinsmoke "legacy" fit with her values.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Sanji is the only child in the family who chooses to be a pirate and a chef instead of living as a prince and taking part in his family's activities, though it's played with since technically, being a pirate is more decadent.
* TheDon: Judge, the patriarch of the Vinsmoke family.
* DramaticIrony:
** They planned on [[spoiler:kidnapping Pudding to keep a trump card against Big Mom should things ever go down the crapper]]. Little did they know, [[spoiler:Pudding herself pulled the exact same card on them before they even realized it by capturing Reiju]].
** They're also unaware of how strong Sanji has gotten since the last time they saw him, especially since now he can fly without needing technology, and how Sanji is unwilling to put up with their abusive crap anymore. Yonji must have severely underestimated Sanji to have received a disfiguring kick to the face.
** Save for Sanji and Reiju, all of the Vinsmokes are completely unaware that the wedding they dragged and blackmailed Sanji into going through was a complete farce to begin with. Although Judge suspects Big Mom of being untrustworthy, even he didn't know how far it went; Big Mom [[spoiler:and Pudding actually had no intention of marrying anyone and plan to kill them all so they can steal the Vinsmokes' cloning technologies for themselves]]. When Judge finally learns the truth, he has an epic VillainousBreakdown and ''cries''.]]
** Reiju believes that Sanji's loyalties to [[ParentalSubstitute Zeff]] made him come back to Germa when she knows Sanji's childhood there was anything but pleasant. She's unaware that Capone Bege, under orders from Judge, dragged Sanji back home against his will.
** For having made his children into super powerful, emotionless killing machines, Judge himself is revealed to be very emotional and terrified of death, suffering an absolutely horrifying {[[AssholeVictim yet satisfying to watch]]) mental breakdown when he realizes [[spoiler:how much his life is in jeopardy at the wedding]]. For bonus points, the ones who drive him into this breakdown is his own kids, who [[spoiler:jeer him for reacting so emotionally to Big Mom's backstab while they FaceDeathWithDignity, he even pleads with them to show a bit more emotion, having become so distraught he's forgetten they literally can't because of him.]]
* TheDreaded: Apparently the Vinsmoke family conquered the entire North Blue and ruled it with an iron fist, causing Germa 66 to gain international notoriety as a "mythical evil army". Their infamous reputation is so widespread that even Robin and Brook of the Straw Hats know about them (with Brook [[OhCrap trembling in fear]]), and the Fire Tank pirates refuse to even lay a finger on Sanji after capturing him, knowing that the rest of his family members would off their leader Capone if any harm befell their third son.
* EmotionSuppression: The reason why Ichiji, Niji and Yonji have a LackOfEmpathy. [[spoiler:Feelings like compassion and empathy were surgically removed from Judge's sons when he manipulated their Lineage Factor while they were inside their mother's womb]]. The only one who was unaffected by this was [[spoiler:Sanji, whose mother sacrificed her life to counter the modifications by taking a special drug]]. Reiju feels compassion, but hides it behind her smiles.
* EmperorScientist: Judge apparently started as a scientist, and acquainted with Vegapunk to boot. Along with his old group, he discovered the small secrets of human bodies, and nowadays he's ruling a "country" of cloned troops and other scientific wonders.
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: In Ch. 869, they decide to escape with Sanji towards Bege's castle in order to avoid Big Mom Pirates.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: In Chapter 847, when Big Mom shows her library collection of rare creatures who are trapped inside her books, the Vinsmoke children were shown to be visibly disturbed by her collections (though it's a bit of a misnomer to call Reiju "evil"). Niji was even shocked that Big Mom would also trap humans in her collections. [[spoiler:Justified; the drug their dead mother, Sora, took to reverse Judge's gene modifications on her sons, while only successfully worked on Sanji, also preserved what little humanity his quadruplet brothers had left.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood:
** Judge sees helping commoners as beneath royalty, and doesn't understand why treating his completely loyal clone army like crap and using them as human shields would be a bad thing. Justified; he is a BloodKnight who believes in MightMakesRight and VirtueIsWeakness in order for a warrior to succeed in fighting wars.
** His sons Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji aren't much better; Niji in particular did not understand (or care) that refusing to eat food that someone cooked for him is an insult by itself, and when Sanji scolds him for it, he basically throws a huge tantrum and attacks Cosette into unconsciousness just to spite Sanji. [[spoiler:It's later justified in Chapter 852; the reason why they're monstrous assholes is because when Judge genetically modified them, he removed his sons' ability to feel compassion so they'll grow up into powerful yet utterly remorseless {{Tykebomb}}s. Their quadruplet brother Sanji was originally intended to be like them, too, but their mother, Sora, intervened by taking a dangerous gene-alteration-reversing drug that succeeded in turning Sanji back to normal, at the cost of her own life.]]
** Subverted with Reiju, who does feel empathy and knows what it is, but she can't show it openly in front of her family because she fears for her life. Despite that, even she doesn't understand why Sanji is so loyal to Zeff that threats to him would make him return to a place he so utterly loathes [[spoiler:especially when, when they were both young, she freed Sanji from starving to death in the dungeons and helped him run away from their abusive household, telling him to find people who will love him for who he is and never come back home again]].
* EvilCounterpart: To the Nefeltari family of the Alabasta kingdom. Both are royalty, but the Nefeltari family lives in the desert, while the Vinsmokes live in an ocean-based kingdom that is made up entirely of ships. The Nefeltari family is a small, yet loving family with one child (Vivi), while the Vinsmokes is larger with four fraternal quadruplet sons and one daughter, but they are utterly abusive, cruel, and disdainful towards anyone they see as "weak" (as Sanji can attest to). The Vinsmokes also treat their subjects and military like crap, using their own soldiers as human shields despite their UndyingLoyalty and believing in MightMakesRight, unlike the Nefeltari family who all genuinely love their subjects. [[spoiler:And unlike Vivi's parents, who love their daughter unconditionally, Judge experimented on and even outright psychologically altered all his children so they can help him reconquer North Blue, and was indirectly responsible for causing the death of his kindhearted wife.]]
* EvilIsCool: InUniverse; Vito of the Firetank Pirates admires them for this exact reason. One of Big Mom's subordinates idolizes them as well, especially Ichiji and Reiju.
* EvilTwin: Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are Sanji's evil ''fraternal quadruplet'' brothers, who abused and bullied him for being weak and compassionate when they were children. As a result of their bad history, Sanji hates all of their guts. [[spoiler:It's later justified in Chapter 852; Ichiji, Yonji, and Niji had their ability to feel compassion completely removed by Judge because he saw it as a weakness, all before they were even born. Their mother, Sora, took a drug that reversed gene-altering surgeries in hopes of preserving their humanity and protecting them from their father, but it only successfully worked on Sanji. His brothers weren't so lucky - they have only a tiny shred of humanity left.]]
* EvilVersusEvil: [[spoiler: It turns out the Charlotte Family is actually planning to murder all of them, so this is what will inevitably happen when they find out]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Deconstructed. The boys calmly accept that [[spoiler:they were beaten and wait for Big Mom's men to fill them with "candy-sized holes"]]; Reiju already knew about the plot thanks to Sanji and can't make a move, but she accepts it also, thinking it's what she and her family deserves. Judge, on the other hand, is disturbed at his children's behavior as if he forgot he [[spoiler:removed their emotions in the first place]] and actually ''bursts into tears'' upon realizing [[spoiler:there's NoHonorAmongThieves]]. It's deconstructed because there are horrific reasons behind their reactions [[spoiler:(namely, EmotionSuppression)]] and it's portrayed as a bad thing to do.
* FamedInStory: Due to the comic strip, Germa 66 is infamous worldwide as a "mythical evil army." Also, due to their dealings in the Underworld, a good number of people know the Vinsmoke Family, whose name is synonymous with evil.
* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: The Vinsmokes are a royal family of assassins and super-soldiers [[spoiler:most of whom were psychologically and physically altered to the point of having utter LackOfEmpathy]].
* FamilyThemeNaming:
** The Vinsmoke children seems to be named after Japanese numbers. The "rei" in Reiju's name can mean "zero" in Japanese, the "yon" in Yonji's name is Japanese for four, and even Sanji's name incorporates "san" ("Three"). The father doesn't share this trait, and is instead named Judge.
** On that note, all the male Vinsmokes have names ending with the masculine "-ji", including Judge (''Jajji'' in Japanese). Only Reiju, as the only female Vinsmoke child, has a different one, the feminine "-ju".
** They also seem to have a color-theme to their epithets, which includes "Winch Green" Vinsmoke Yonji, "Poison Pink" Vinsmoke Reiju, "Electric Blue" Vinsmoke Niji, "Sparking Red" Vinsmoke Ichiji, and "Black Leg" Vinsmoke Sanji. However, Sanji's is apparently the only one written in kanji rather than katakana, which causes it to stick out from the rest. This is because "Black Leg" is Sanji's pirate epithet rather than a {{Sentai}}-style Germa 66 {{codename}}. It just coincidentally fits the family theme.
** The Vinsmoke children's deceased mother, Sora, averts the trope.
* FieryRedhead: Subverted with Ichiji, who's calm and apathetic to a fault. It's his blue-haired brother, Niji, who has the explosive temper.
* FiveBadBand: There are indeed five of them in the Germa Kingdom, and they fit here pretty well, with some variation:
** BigBad[=/=]TheEvilGenius: Judge, the king of the Germa Kingdom and patriarch of the Vinsmoke family, and a MadScientist who once conducted research together with Vegapunk.
** TheDragon: Ichiji, the oldest son, who seems to have the most authority out of Judge's sons, and appears to be the leader of the three of them.
** {{The Brute}}s: Niji and Yonji, who more-or-less seem to be DumbMuscle.
** TheDarkChick: Reiju, the only female family member, who is also a subversion as she is ([[StepfordSmiler secretly]]) the TokenGoodTeammate among them, being the only Vinsmoke (besides Sanji) capable of compassion or empathy.
* {{Flight}}:
** All of the Vinsmokes, save for the deceased mother, are shown to be capable of this, wearing Germa's special high-tech boots that allow them to fly and hover in the air without using a Devil Fruit.
** Also Sanji, of course, has the ability to do this with his Sky Walk technique. However, unlike the rest of his family, he doesn't require technology to perform this feat, instead gaining it through a two-year TrainingFromHell.
* FreudianExcuse: Vinsmoke quadruplets Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are utterly monstrous RoyalBrats because Judge [[spoiler:surgically removed their empathy in utero]], thinking it would make them good {{Tykebomb}}s. Not only did this leave them literally unable to feel or understand things like kindness and compassion, Judge's bad influence on them just worsened their incredibly bad behaviors. Their mother [[spoiler:tried pulling a MamaBear by secretly consuming a Lineage Factor experiment-reversing drug to save her sons from becoming their father's weapons]], but for some reason [[spoiler:her plan only worked on their brother, Sanji, who was born a "dud".]]
* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: As shown in a flashback, according to Judge, all of his children are the result of heavy genetic engineering and has virtually limitless potential. [[spoiler:They were also programmed to have utter LackOfEmpathy because Judge saw it as a removable weakness, hence why Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are monstrous assholes. Only Sanji (whose enhancements were rendered null thanks to the drug his mother took to save him) and Reiju still have their mother's compassion.]]
* HadToBeSharp: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. As a result of Judge's machinations, the rest of the Germa are physical and technological powerhouses that can hold their own against top combat commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, and it seems that they are accustomed to sacrificing their expendable clone army rather than tank or dodge attacks themselves.
** In contrast, although Sanji did not receive the genetic enhancements his siblings did and ran away from the benefits of a royal lifestyle, Judge is shocked to discover that the "failure" can wield Haki.
* HateSink: Aside from [[WhiteSheep Sanji]], [[AntiVillain Reiju]] and their [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest mother]], the Vinsmokes are all [[{{Jerkass}} complete assholes]] with no redeeming qualities who go out of their way to KickTheDog at every opportunity. It's even acknowledged by Sanji in-universe when he discovers Niji attacked the maid Cosette into unconsciousness, making his brother lower than "scum" in his eyes. [[spoiler:It's later revealed in Chapter 852 that Sanji's brothers have a ''VERY'' good reason for their monstrous behavior, which is all thanks to their father.]]
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Subverted. Headphones are actually standard equipment in the Germa 66 armies, and [[SunglassesAtNight can be even worn off-duty]]. Yonji, Niji, and Reiju debut wearing them.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: It's a bit of a misnomer to call them "heroes", but the eldest Vinsmoke sons Ichiji and Niji stopped a 2-year long war at Broccoli Island and got hailed as heroes - just like what the Straw Hats did in previous arcs. This is despite Germa 66's reputation as a "mythical evil army", a fact that the island's survivors [[LampshadeHanging acknowledge]].
* HiredGuns: Due to the Vinsmokes being Underworld assassins, it's possible for either one or all of them to be hired to carry out some DirtyBusiness for a substantial fee, as seen in chapter 828 when Ichiji and Niji were hired to stop a civil war in Broccoli Island.
* {{Homage}}: To [[Series/KamenRider SHOCKER.]] Compare the '76 villain's [[http://img.tarad.com/shop/g/gustoys/img-lib/spd_20131101155816_b.jpg logo]] and the [[http://67.media.tumblr.com/7de2227501071d17a341b2c1694e001e/tumblr_inline_odkg58yGyn1sg3o5d_540.png imposing board meeting of evil.]]
** To ''Literature/TheManInTheIronMask'': What happens to little Sanji when his father realizes he'll never be as good as his siblings.
* IHaveNoSon: Inverted and played straight at the same time.
** Sanji has disowned and estranged himself from his family since he was a child due to their horrible treatment of him; their Underworld activities and the fact that all of his siblings and relatives are assassins didn't help either. When he meets up with them again for the first time in years, he wants absolutely nothing to do with them.
** Played straight with Judge. While he will acknowledge his blood runs in Sanji's vein, he considers Sanji nothing more than a means to an end, and no son of his. He goes so far as to publicly declare Sanji dead and imprison him in secret with his head locked in an iron mask when it's determined he's an ordinary human (compared to his siblings) and won't stop his bad habits of cooking and helping lower beings ("Royalty does not serve!"). Sanji is still a child at this point. Later, when Sanji escapes, he lets him go on the condition he never reveals who his family is.
** A sibling example; Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji hate Sanji for being weaker than them and don't see him as their "true" brother, but Niji with his [[HotBlooded explosive temper]] is the most outspoken about it, refusing to see Sanji as family unless he shape himself up to their family's standards, and even tries to attack him during dinner over being scolded and insulted.
* {{Irony}}: For all of their touting that VirtueIsWeakness, [[spoiler:Sanji's compassion and reluctance to abandon his family is what will save them from being utterly annihilated by Big Mom.]]
* JerkassFacade: Reiju, on the outside, acts cold and snooty towards everyone beneath her station, and appears supportive of her family's atrocious behavior and actions. She even put exploding slave bracelets on Sanji's wrists, to coerce him into to marry Charlotte Pudding and seal Judge's alliance with Big Mom, lest he lose his hands and his ability to cook (if he survived at all). But it's later revealed to be just a mask that she puts up because of the utter fear of being abused by her family like Sanji was, and underneath said mask she is just as kind and compassionate, traits that she shares with both Sanji and their dead mother, Sora. She even dressed up Sanji's wounds in secret every time he was left black and blue by either his brothers, or the family's version of TrainingFromHell. She eventually [[BigSisterInstinct helped Sanji run away from Germa after he was left to rot in the dungeons by Judge, telling him to find people who love him and never come back, all while shedding tears for him unseen.]] She also helped [[AcquiredPoisonImmunity Luffy]] deal with a deadly poison that was ''killing'' him, on the sole basis that he was a good friend of Sanji's who took such good care of him, without any ulterior motives. [[spoiler:It also turns out she secretly pulled a LoopholeAbuse on Judge's orders by swapping out the explosive bracelets for duds.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: Judge and his three sons Niji, Ichiji, and Yonji treat their subordinates horribly and have no qualms about doing so. It's obviously averted with [[WhiteSheep Sanji]], and later subverted with Reiju, who is indeed capable of compassion but hides it out of fear of being abused like Sanji was. [[spoiler:It's later justified in Chapter 852; Judge wanted all of his children to become utterly remorseless killers and efficient warriors, so he modified them by removing their empathy while in utero so they will be literally incapable of feeling compassion. This is why Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are irredeemably cruel and abusive assholes. Their mother, Sora, intended to preserve their humanity by taking a dangerous drug that reversed gene modifications, but it only worked on Sanji who, had it not been for Sora, would've turned out as bad as his brothers.]]
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Sanji and Yonji's elder brothers Ichiji and Niji, who have longer hair and are more {{Bishonen}} than them.
* MadeofIron: Taken to ludicrous extremes, even for One Piece. All of Sanji's siblings were genetically engineered to possess "outer skeletons." As children, Sanji only hurt his fists trying to hit his brothers, and in present day Sanji's kicks deform their faces like metal.
** This is a reference to their robotic-like origin, such as the androids in Cyborg009.
* MadScientist: Sanji learns that prior to proclaiming himself royalty, Judge Vinsmoke used to be a companion of Vegapunk, and they did scientific research together. Judge managed to escape being arrested by the WG for their discovery of the Lineage Factor, while Vegapunk wasn't so lucky.
* MafiaPrincess:
** Reiju is a literal example, due to her family's royal status (despite them not ruling any official territory anymore) combining with their Underworld associations. It's later double-subverted as, while she fully knows what her family is doing and supports them, it's only a facade as Reiju actually fears being abused by her brothers and father (save Sanji), so she's forced to [[StepfordSmiler keep smiling]] and keep obeying their orders so she won't be singled out. [[spoiler:It gets to the point where she is utterly consumed by self-loathing and wishes to die along with her family on the day of Sanji's wedding so they won't continue to blight the world anymore.]]
** Sanji is a literal male example, except in his case he plays it straight [[AbusiveParents for extremely]] [[BigBrotherBully justified reasons]].
* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Played with. While the vast majority of the "disposable" Germa clones are indeed men, you can actually see a woman among their ranks in chapter 833.
* MightMakesRight: The entire family's ideals seem to be based on this, which explains why all of them are a BadassFamily. Then there's the whole ruling the North Blue thing they did in the past. Sanji's refusal to follow these ideals was what soured his relationship with is family and caused him to be seen as "weak". Reiju's fear of receiving the same treatment turned her into a StepfordSmiler.
* MissingMom: The Vinsmoke matriarch died when Sanji and his siblings were little [[spoiler:because she became terminally ill from consuming a drug that she hoped would save her then-unborn quadruplet sons from becoming their father's utterly remorseless and emotionless weapons. For some reason, it only worked on Sanji, while his brothers had only a tiny shred of their original humanity left]].
* MeaningfulName: "Vin" is French for "wine". Add "smoke" to that and you get a play-on-words that describes a certain flavor of wine (smoky wine). Sanji, the third son of the Vinsmoke family, just so happens to be a chain-smoking SupremeChef.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: All over the place but especially in the Vinsmoke family dining room: There's a giant menacing eagle statue, a large black wall-hanging with intersecting lines like a cross, skulls, lightning bolts, skulls with lightning bolts, and loads of black banners with the family's [[SigilSpam 66 emblem]] (66 = [[GratuitousSpanish "seis-seis"]] = SS), plus the fact that they're called the Germa[ny] kingdom. The "raid suits" the family wears in active combat (with the exception of Reiju's) also [[PuttingOnTheReich quite resembles the SS uniform]]. While they don't seem to want to kill any one race that they blame their misfortunes on (yet) they view everyone who isn't royal as beneath them and only good for exploitation. They also used to conquer a whole ocean region, quite like how Germany in WWII tried to conquer the whole Europe.
* NoSell: Anytime little Sanji tried retaliating against his cruel, abusive quadruplet brothers, it wouldn't work and have no effect at all; case in point, Sanji smacks his brother Niji in the face with a bamboo sword during a training session with no effect, or tries punching Ichiji in the face and ends up hurting his hand badly. It's revealed the brothers have an "outer skeleton" that Sanji didn't develop [[spoiler:because his mother, Sora, took a poisonous drug that undid all of his genetic enhancements before he was born, at the cost of her own life.]]
* NoodleIncident: Just how exactly did they lose rulership over the North Blue? It's implied they were eventually overthrown, but details are currently in the dark.
* NotHyperbole: Reiju debuts apologizing to the Straw Hats for Yonji's apathy toward Luffy getting poisoned, saying that he doesn't have a shred of humanity in him. [[spoiler:[[EmotionSuppression Thanks to their father, he (as well as his brothers not named "Sanji") literally doesn't.]]]]
* NumericalThemeNaming: As mentioned above, all of the Vinsmoke kids are named after numbers.
** Reiju's number is zero. She is the Vinsmoke family's firstborn child and only daughter, while her younger siblings who came after her are all guys. Unlike her brothers, her Germa 66 outfit (shown on her page image) consist of circles representing the number zero.
** Ichiji's number is one. Ichiji is the firstborn of male fraternal quadruplets. He is also a badass WarriorPrince who stops a civil war in Broccoli Island in just ''four hours''. He also seems to work in tandem with Niji, his second quadruplet brother. He's also Niji's opposite, being more stoic and aloof than his brother (as well as the rest of his siblings).
** Niji's number is two. Niji is the second-born of male fraternal quadruplets. He also seems to work in tandem with Ichiji, his eldest quadruplet brother. He's also Ichiji's opposite, being incredibly spiteful and [[HotBlooded hot-tempered]].
** Sanji's number is three. Sanji is the third-born of male fraternal quadruplets. As an odd number, the number three is associated with social alienation - Sanji was abused and treated as TheUnfavorite by his family for being weak and compassionate, to the point of running away to East Blue while still a child.
** Yonji's number is four, an unlucky number in Asian cultures. Yonji is the fourth-born of male fraternal quadruplets. Ever since his debut, he has been a ButtMonkey, suffering defeat from both his sister Reiju and his brother Sanji (to the point of disfigurement in the latter case).
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: As implied with the case of Ichiji and Niji, the Vinsmokes can do good things like stopping a bloody civil war, as long as you have some coin to pay them in return. The Vinsmoke family will also lend their support to whomever possesses the biggest pockets.
* OutnumberedSibling: Reiju is the only daughter in the family. All of her younger siblings are male fraternal quadruplets.
* PeekABangs: Just like Sanji, all of the siblings (save for Yonji and Judge) have hair hiding one of their eyes. Their mother, Sora, also had her styled like this.
* PetTheDog:
** Double-subverted with Reiju. At first it would appear like she's playing nice to coax Sanji into marrying Pudding and joining their family, but it's revealed that it's just a carefully crafted facade because Reiju does actually shares Sanji's empathy - she's too afraid that, if she shows it openly, she'll be subjected to abuse. It's also shown in flashbacks that Reiju was responsible for fixing up Sanji's wounds (either from their family's TrainingFromHell or their brothers' bullying) and helping him escape the family dungeons.
** When Judge declared Sanji dead it was treated as a national tragedy (he actually threw his "failure" of a son in prison and encased his head in an iron mask). But even then Sanji still got fine meals (the kitchen staff thinks there's a secret VIP or Judge has a mistress) and when he escaped (with Reiju's help), Judge, despite his great irritations towards Sanji's shortcomings, let him go and told him that he could never kill his own blood, even a failure like Sanji. He did, however, tell Sanji never to reveal his true birthright to anyone else.
* ProfessionalKiller: All of them except Sanji and Vinsmokes' dead mother are royal Underworld assassins. It's implied that people sometimes hire them to take care of DirtyBusiness for a substantial fee.
* PsychoRangers: The siblings (minus Sanji/plus Judge) are basically evil ''sentai''.
* RebelPrince: Sanji in the backstory apparently ran away from his family to the East Blue for the extensive abuse he went through. When he's reunited with the family again, he makes it clear that he wants ''nothing'' to do with them.
* RedBaron: Judge is also known as the "Garuda". Likewise Ichiji is "Sparking Red", Niji is "Electric Blue", Yonji is "Winch Green" and Reiju is "Poison Pink". Sanji is known as "Black Leg", taking after [[ParentalSubstitute Zeff]]'s "Red Leg" epithet. Only Sora, the Vinsmoke children's deceased mother, averts this.
* RedOniBlueOni: Ichiji is calmer, Niji is easily irritated, yet it's [[RedBaron inverted in their color-themed epithets]]. Then again, even Yonji and Sanji can be blues to Niji's red.
* TheReveal:
** Why Sanji never spoke of his family: In exchange for letting him leave (on a cruise ship in the East Blue as it turns out) Judge ordered him to never reveal his relation to the Vinsmokes.
** In Chapter 852, why Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are complete assholes: [[spoiler:they were physically and psychologically altered in utero by Judge, who also removed their empathy so they'll become efficient yet utterly remorseless killers. Their mother, Sora, tried to preserve their humanity by secretly consuming a drug that reversed Lineage Factor experiments, but only saved Sanji and died for her trouble. Also, had it not been for Sora, Sanji would have been born as bad as his brothers.]]
* RoseHairedSweetie: While Reiju at first doesn't look like she'll fit the "sweetie" part, her pink hair serves as a hint: In her first appearance she gladly helps Luffy's poisoning problem despite being on different sides, and it's later revealed that she (other than Sanji) is the only one among her family that have (working) compassion and empathy.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Though they currently have no land to rule over anymore[[note]]Except the Germa Kingdom, but it doesn't count since it's a ship-based kingdom[[/note]], the Vinsmoke family are still considered royals, and retain enough power and influence to be allowed to participate in Reverie meetings.
** Judge tells his children they will all lead their own armies when they grow up.
* RuleOfThree: Played in an odd way, '''San'''ji is the only brother who doesn't have any of Judge's "enhancements" like [[SuperToughness armored skin]], SuperStrength, and LackOfEmpathy, [[spoiler:because his mother, Sora, took a dangerous gene modification-reversing drug in hopes of saving her quadruplet sons from becoming Judge's weapons. Only Sanji was saved, while his brothers weren't so lucky.]]
* {{Sentai}}: They have this motif, being brightly colored, super powerful characters who strike poses and work as a team, complete with using "raid suits" contained in a TransformationTrinket and having elaborate TransformationSequence as they activate it. Ironically though, they're super ''villains'' rather than superheroes.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: The Vinsmoke kids all wear different-colored small scarves on their neck. And they're all kickass in some way.
* SharedFamilyQuirks:
** Sanji's older and younger quadruplet brothers share quite a few of his traits. Ichiji, the [[AloofBigBrother eldest]], has Sanji's cool head (when Sanji's not being HotBlooded); Niji has Sanji's [[HotBlooded temper]] cranked UpToEleven (and not PlayedForLaughs, either); and all brothers, even Ichiji, share Sanji's [[HandsomeLech perverted tendencies]] as they ogle Nami the second they see her, complete with Sanji's trademark "[[WingdingEyes Heart Eyes]]".
** Sanji's older sister Reiju also shares his perverted tendencies, as she seems to enjoy giving the poisoned Luffy a KissOfLife a little ''too'' much, and his preference for using powerful kicks, as she was able to send Yonji into the ocean with one strike. She also shares Sanji's compassion, which was inherited from their [[MissingMom dead mother]], though she was forced to [[StepfordSmiler hide it]] [[BigBrotherBully for personal]] [[AbusiveParents reasons]].
** On the subject of kicking, Niji also shares this with Sanji as he tries to attack him with a kick during a family meal dispute (though in the next chapter he also punches Sanji), and Judge also fights using kicks.
** [[spoiler:Sanji inherited his [[SpannerInTheWorks work-spanning tendencies]] from his mother Sora, who disapproved of Judge's plans for their children and took a dangerous drug that reversed gene-modifying surgeries in hopes of saving her sons from being turned into human weapons, all before he and his brothers were born; she was only successful with Sanji herself but it's the thought that counts.]]
* SoProudOfYou: Sanji's quadruplet siblings, who all hate his guts (the feeling is mutual) for being "weak" in every sense of the word, finally acknowledge him in Chapter 843 as their brother, smiling and laughing when Sanji adopts their family beliefs and tells his Straw Hat friends to bugger off when they come to rescue him from his ArrangedMarriage (the truth is Sanji was blackmailed and wants to protect his loved ones). Subverted with Reiju, who silently listens in on the whole thing with a sad expression on her face.
* StepfordSmiler: Reiju is revealed to be this through flashbacks; she actually cared for Sanji and shared his empathy, but she was afraid of being singled out by their brothers and father, too, so she pretended to smile and laugh every time she saw Sanji being abused and bullied (notice how her smile also looks the same in every scene). In one chapter she privately reveals her reasons to Sanji, and in the next chapter she actually cries after helping Sanji escape and telling him never to come back.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: All of the Vinsmoke children resemble Sanji to some degree.
** Reiju would be the end result if Sanji was turned into a woman, with the same perverted personality (except hers is directed towards men) and preference of using kicks as attacks. She looks almost identical to her deceased mother (albeit a bit fierce-looking).
** Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji all resemble Sanji, due to the four of them being fraternal quadruplet brothers; Yonji in particular is Sanji's spitting image in all but hair and eyebrows, and even has the same perverted personality, [[MistakenIdentity which caused him to be mistaken for Sanji by the Straw Hat Pirates at first]].
** Averted with their father, Judge, who looks nothing like his children. Must be that chin, mustache, and the wrestler-like mask he wears.
** Played straight once again with their (deceased) mother; aside from not having swirly eyebrows, she looked exactly like her daughter Reiju does in the present day, down to her PeekABangs hairstyle. And of course, she passed on her looks to her sons as well to some degree.
* SymbolMotifClothing: All of Vinsmokes (sans Sanji and their dead mother obviously) have "66" written on their clothing. It also references their swirly eyebrows in a way.
* ThickerThanWater: Judge admits that even though Sanji's an utter failure and probably wishes he was dead, he can't bring himself to murder someone of his own blood.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Reiju is the only one of Sanji's biological family members who despite participating in, and supporting, her family's activities, actually feels guilty for what she'd done, and she isn't an abusive dick to poor Sanji unlike the others. She greatly cares for her younger brother and loves seeing him display his compassion as much as he could [[spoiler:as it's a reminder that their mother's HeroicSacrifice to save Reiju's brothers was not made in vain]], but was, and still is, too afraid of violent retribution from her other brothers and father to stand up to them. When she learned that Sanji was left to rot in the family dungeons, she secretly freed him and tearfully told him to find people who ''will'' love him for who he is. She also saves Luffy's life after he gets poisoned in lieu of nothing simply because he's Sanji's friend, despite the fact that doing so could potentially complicate the machinations of Big Mom and her father to marry Sanji off to Big Mom's daughter, Pudding [[spoiler:which turns out to be a sham]]. And after [[spoiler:Sanji finds Reiju being tormented by Pudding and gets her medical attention]], she again urges Sanji to flee when he tells her about [[spoiler:Big Mom's plans to kill the Vinsmokes and steal their technology]], because she believes herself and the rest of her family to be deserving of death for all of the cruel things they did to others and wants Sanji to live with his Straw Hat friends unburdened - not to mention this will also save Sanji's savior and ParentalSubstitute, Zeff.
* TragicVillain: Reiju and her brothers were all essentially ForcedIntoEvil by Judge in one way or another. Reiju retains most of her emotional capacity, but she's had her mind modified in a way that [[spoiler:she can't outright refuse to follow Judge's orders...]] meanwhile, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji had their ability to [[spoiler:feel and understand benevolent emotions outright ''removed'' by Judge in utero]], thus they never had the chance to be good people from the moment they were born.
* TrainingFromHell: The Vinsmoke kids were subjected to this since their childhood. Played with, in that while the training regime is indeed hellish and Sanji suffered for it, his other siblings are clearly okay and even enjoying them as their capabilities are expanded.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Brutal, hard-looking, and hard-hearted Judge who couldn't stand Sanji's weaknesses and habits, compared to his lovely, sweet, delicate wife who was proud of her son's efforts, going so far as to not only eat a meal of his that her maid tossed for looking and tasting horrible, but declaring that from then on she will eat Sanji's meals ''exclusively''.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Judge and Reiju, though [[SpearCounterpart his sons count too for that matter]]. While Judge isn't a {{Gonk}} by any means, he's a very large and brutish-looking man while all of his kids are downright [[PrettyBoy pretty]].
* UndyingLoyalty: All members of Germa 66 are extremely loyal to the Vinsmoke family, to the point of ''[[TakingTheBullet taking bullets for them]]'' if their superiors wished. This extends to the servants and maids, who are loyal even to Sanji, who doesn't associate himself with his relatives anymore. Unfortunately, this loyalty is rather one-sided, as the Vinsmoke family (sans Sanji) only sees them as means to an end.
** In the case of the soldiers, it's justified with them being clones who are programmed to be loyal to their masters.
* TheUnfavorite: All of Sanji's family saw him as this as a child due to being physically weak and compassionate. Judge in particular sees Sanji as a disgrace to the family name, and only sees him as a throwaway and a tool to seal Germa 66's alliance with Big Mom despite Sanji [[TookALevelInBadass taking a level in strength and (literal) firepower]] during the Sabaody Arc. The only people who cared for Sanji was his [[MissingMom deceased mother]], and [[TokenGoodTeammate Reiju]] (though the latter was forced to hide her true colors for fear of being abused as well). Sora in particular lavished her son with care because he kept visiting her while she was sick, come hell or high water [[spoiler: and was the only one of her quadruplet sons who kept his humanity after Judge experimented on him and his brothers in utero, thanks to the drug Sora took.]]
* UnusualEyebrows: The Vinsmokes all share Sanji's signature swirly brows. However, while all of his siblings' brows swirl to the left side of their face, Sanji's ones are inverted and swirl to the ''right''.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Judge is reduced to this when he realizes he and his whole family are going to be slaughtered by Big Mom and unlike his sons he still has his emotions, enough to burst into tears.]]
* VillainousRescue: In Chapter 869, [[spoiler:the Vinsmoke children, after being freed by Sanji, regain their raid suits and attack the Charlotte family/Big Mom Pirates to save the Straw Hats from being captured and buy everyone time to escape into Bege's fortress.]]
* VirtueIsWeakness: The Vinsmokes equate any form of virtue or compassion with an exploitable weakness. The only exceptions to this trope are [[WhiteSheep Sanji]], his older sister, [[TokenGoodTeammate Reiju]], and their deceased mother.
* WalkingSpoiler: Every single Vinsmoke, considering that Sanji having such a large, active family was never even hinted at before their reveal.
* WarriorPrince: Yonji, Sanji, and their two older brothers Ichiji and Niji are these, since the Vinsmoke family (despite no longer officially ruling any territory) are still seen as royals, and their children are all badass to varying degrees. They're also [[TykeBomb specifically raised and engineered]] by Judge so they would become commanders of their army (although Sanji came out as a dud, he became badass in his own way) [[spoiler:and, in the case of Sanji's brothers, altered to have literally no empathy so they would have no problem with killing.]]
* WeHaveReserves: The Vinsmoke family's (sans Sanji) rather appalling treatment of their soldiers is due to all Germa 66 soldiers being clones - if one soldier dies, they're easily replaced by another clone.
* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Despite the fact that they're all clones, the soldiers of Germa 66 clearly have personalities and thoughts of their own, as shown when they cheered on Sanji's fight with Judge and conversed with each other. And, yet, the Vinsmokes still use them as [[HumanShield meat shields]] with not even the slightest hint of remorse.
* WhiteSheep: Sanji is the only Vinsmoke who refuses to participate in his family's activities or even associate with them. It's later revealed that he is also the only Vinsmoke who averts AristocratsAreEvil, being willing to cook for people his family sees as "rats" (including literal rats) and was bullied viciously for it. This is represented by his eyebrows pointing to the right, while the eyebrows of his siblings [[ASinisterClue point to the left]]. This is lampshaded repeatedly by his family as how he has "the mind of a plebeian" and that he completely refuses to "act like royals". Sanji apparently has similar traits to the family's long dead matron, Sora, and Judge scolded him for it, saying that there's no use in following the legacy of the dead.
** When Judge and Ichiji said that Sanji was a dud, they meant it - despite having the same genetic enhancement as his siblings, when they train Sanji always fell behind, which irritates them (except for Reiju). So much that they tried to [[DeathFakedForYou pass Sanji off as "dead"]] because of it. [[spoiler: Turns out Sanji's enhancement was hindered by his mother taking a drug, to specifically prevent him from losing his compassion. Reiju makes it clear that Sanji is ''not'' the dud, he is the only Vinsmoke son who was affected by the drug.]]
* WomenAreWiser: Not only Sora, the dead matriarch of the family, was a gentle NiceGirl who loved her son Sanji a lot, but her daughter and eldest child Reiju is the only remaining Vinsmoke, save for Sanji, with a moral compass of her own; she just keeps it hidden for fear of being abused by her family.
* WouldHitAGirl: Sanji's second oldest brother Niji doesn't like the food provided to him by the head cook, Cosette. After calling her, he ignores Cosette's pleas for forgiveness, telling her to shut up and stand still before proceeding to throw the plate at her face at high speed; however, Sanji stops the plate and tastes the food, commenting on its excellent taste. Later, Sanji finds poor Cosette bloody and beaten into unconsciousness by Niji, which in that case is unusual as that level of violence is usually reserved for male characters. Sanji is so enraged by this that he deems his brother "lower than scum".
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: None of the Vinsmoke children (sans Sanji) has a natural hair color. Each of them has hair matching their color-themed epithets: Reiju has pink hair, Ichiji has red hair, Niji has blue hair, and Yonji has green hair.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Germa's cloned soldiers take just five years to mature and are "born" with 20-year old bodies and even memories.

!Blackbeard Pirates
[[folder: Overview of the Blackbeard Pirates]]
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Kurohige_2624.png]]

The small yet mighty pirate crew of the evil pirate Marshall D. Teach aka Blackbeard. Despite their small size, they're powerful enough to take on a whole kingdom, like Drum. First introduced in Jaya, they later reappear on Banaro Island where they capture Ace. After the events of Impel Down, the crew is now strengthened by several legendary criminals and is heading to the New World. Blackbeard's initial crew members were Van Augur the marksman, Jesus Burgess the fighter, Doc Q the doctor and his horse Stronger, and Laffitte the navigator. Following the crew's breakout from Impel Down, they recruited Shilliew the swordsman, Catarina Devon, Avalo Pizarro, Vasco Shot, and Sanjuan Wolf, all former Level Six prisoners and highly feared individuals.

After the TimeSkip, Blackbeard has replaced Whitebeard as one of the Four Emperors as confirmed in Chapter 650. He has since expanded his crew greatly, to the extent that it is now divided into ten divisions, each led by one of his Ten Titanic Captains. Burgess, Shiliew, and Laffitte are all confirmed to be captains.

%% AffablyEvil: Especially Laffitte.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Sanjuan Wolf really earns his nickname Colossal Battleship. He's so big the only place where he could hide was [[UpToEleven behind Marineford's base!!]]
%% BadassCrew: Undeniably.
* BeastMan: Avalo Pizarro seems to be some sort of cat-man hybrid.
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: They're all a bunch of fatalists.
* {{BFG}}: Van Augur has a very big, long rifle.
%% BloodKnight: Burgess has shades of this.
* BoobsOfSteel: Catarina Devon is said to be the most dangerous female criminal in the world, and her bust is surprisingly big.
* ButterFace: Catarina Devon has a wonderful body, coupled with a hideous face. Originally, she was going to be a pretty samurai lady from Wano and a counterpart for Zoro, but eventually Oda decided to make her this way.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Burgess can lift a whole inn and toss it while he's jumping.
%% DarkActionGirl: Catarina Devon.
* DirtyCop: Laffitte was a policeman in West Blue until he was thrown off the force for his brutality and sadism.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Laffitte, whose looks is based off a {{Bifauxnen}} musician. In other words, he's a guy that looks like a girl that looks like a guy that looks like a girl.

* DumbMuscle: Burgess is not really smart and neither is Wolf or possibly Vasco.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Van Auger is introduced sniping seagulls too far away to be seen by the naked eye. Doc Q, even more tellingly, is giving out apples in town... some, but not all of which are explosive.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Straw Hat Pirates. Unlike them, it's shown that they don't really think of each other as TrueCompanions - in particular, the new ones that joined at Marineford. Probably because at least 4/5 of them were infamous Captains now serving a relative upstart.
* TheFatalist: Along with [[NietzscheWannabe nihilism]], this is a pretty consistent attitude among the crew.
%% FatBastard: Vasco Shot.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Indeed, while they have skills when we first meet them they're relative unknowns and didn't even have a proper pirate ship (it was just a raft tied together with heavy logs with a sail). [[spoiler: But after Blackbeard manages to pull off his gambit and kill Whitebeard, they're taken seriously as a threat and after the time skip, are now even TheDreaded since Blackbeard is now a Pirate Emperor.]]
%% GagNose: Vasco Shot and, on a lesser degree, Blackbeard and Devon.
* {{Gonk}}: Many of them. This seems to be in contrast to the Straw Hat Pirates, who are either pretty, cool, or cute. Meanwhile, the Blackbeard Pirates are deliberately ugly. The only exceptions being Van Augur (who's simply average looking) and Laffitte (who's more [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette creepy]][[UncannyValley -looking]] than ugly). This was actually meant to be a character trait by Oda, who believes that real pirates should be rough and ugly-looking.
* GunsAkimbo: Some of them have pistols on them. Avalo Pizarro appears to have guns attached to his forearms. Or [[ThisIsADrill drills]], hard to tell.
* HollywoodCyborg: Pizarro, when first introduced hand Drill-like hands and then back to normal. If it's not a [[ShapeshifterWeapon limb-weapon]] Paramecia, he may be this.
* InASingleBound: Burgess can leap down several hundred meters without difficulty.
* KiAttacks: Post TimeSkip, Burgess can employ Armament Haki.
%% LeanAndMean: Van Auger.
* LineOfSightName: To enter the Dressrosa gladiatorial tournament, Burgess puts a paper bag on his head emblazoned with the words "HAPPY STORE." The name he enters into the tournament under: Mr Store.
* MadeOfIron: In a Anime-only scene, Burgess takes a solid punch from [[spoiler:Monkey D. Garp, the guy who went toe-to-toe with Roger]], with surprisingly little pain.
** That's nothing compared to the shockwave [[spoiler:Sengoku delivered to them in [[OneWingedAngel Buddha form]] which sent them flying]]. All of them, even Doc Q and freakin' Stronger got up almost immediately.
* NietzscheWannabe: A pretty common attitude among the crew.
* NonIndicativeName: Catarina and Pizarro's titles (Crescent Moon Huntress and Corrupted King) are yet to be explained.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: Remember how big Oars was? Sanjuan Wolf ''towers'' over him. The guy is so huge that he is roughly the same size as the Marine headquarters' tallest building. In fact, he's introduced in the flesh hiding ''behind'' that building. Afterward, being too big for the Blackbeard's ship, he decides to stand in the Grand Line. Literally. He can walk on the bottom of the ocean and have his head still above water.
* PsychopathicManchild: Sanjuan Wolf does not seem to have much of a grasp on reality.
* SignatureLaugh: Burgess' "Wi~hahahaha!"
* SinisterScythe: Doc Q's weapon, usually carried in a bag. It has two blades to boot.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Thankfully, chapter 595 gives their names with the right spelling.
* TheStarscream: Avalo Pizarro has shades of this, but he may be kidding. [[spoiler: Shiliew does not seem to have that much loyalty, and he has betrayed others before]].
* UnexpectedCharacter: [[spoiler:Burgess makes an unexpected appearance in the Corrida Colosseum.]]
* VillainousValor: [[spoiler:Averted; at least Shiliew would split up if Blackbeard's plans regarding the Gura Gura Fruit would have failed.]]
%% WickedCultured: Van Augur.

[[folder:"Champion" Jesus Burgess]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1jesus_burgess_anime_post_timeskip_infobox_1_2.png]]
->Voiced by: Creator/TetsuInada (JP), Phil Parsons (EN, Funi)

One of the original 5 Blackbeard Pirates and the helmsman of the crew, Burgess is a large, muscular man and a powerful hand-to-hand fighter with a love of combat. Burgess would become a member of the Ten Titanic Captains and the Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates' 1st Ship upon their ascension to Emperor-hood, and arrived at Dressrossa with the intention of winning the Mera Mera no Mi for his crew in the Corrida Colosseum tournament.

* BadassBeard: Post-Timeskip, he's grown a rather sizable, flowing beard.
* BloodKnight: Loves fighting, to the point he basically spends his free time in Jaya challenging anyone strong there to a fight. He also relishes the chance to fight Luffy in the Corrida Colosseum.
* BoisterousBruiser: A very loud and cheerful brawler prone to flashy displays and poses.
* TheBrute: Generally serves this role, though he is shown to be capable of cunning and deceptive feats of intelligence.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Given his looks and his [[BoisterousBruiser boisterous]] BloodKnight personality, one might mistake him for a simpleton. However, on more than one occasion he's shown to be quite canny, with the biggest example so far being [[spoiler:sneaking aboard a Revolutionary Army ship and giving Blackbeard and his comrades a way to find the Revolutionary Army's home base.]]
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Throws buildings around like sandbags in the battle with Ace.
* CombatPragmatism: In spite of his love for fighting, when the situation calls for it Burgess is all too willing to put it aside for the bigger picture. Examples include his use of guns when the Blackbeard Pirates [[spoiler:killed Whitebeard]], when he watched and waited during Luffy and Doflamingo's fight for Luffy to be left vulnerable before leaping out and trying to kill him, or, as mentioned below, [[spoiler:using Sabo's guilt over Ace's death to try to get him to act irrationally and leave an opening for him to attack with a dagger.]]
* CoolMask: A particularly badass looking luchador-esque mask.
* {{Determinator}}: Despite being pretty much destroyed by Sabo (a bone is sticking out of one of his legs!), he still manages to board Sabo's ship and reach the Revolutionary's headquarters in Baltigo, where he manages to remain hidden and conscious for ten days.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: [[BoisterousBruiser First seen standing on top of a house shouting]] and [[BloodKnight looking for a fight.]]
* EvilCounterpart: Possibly turning into one to Franky. Both are quite boisterous brawlers in a fight, very flashy, and both introduce themselves in the series as prone to starting a fight (though Burgess is quite a bit more aggressive). However, Burgess only uses his raw strength and what he is capable of in a fight, along with a little bit of cunning. Franky is a bit more reliant on his abilities as a cyborg, but he can fight underhanded as well and he's just as effective in a brawl.
* KamehameHadoken: A weird variant; Burgess has a technique called "Hado Elbow" where he fires a shockwave out of his elbow.
* KiAttacks: Shown to have learnt Armament Haki over the timeskip, though his still isn't as powerful as Sabo's.
* MadeOfIron: While his second battle with Sabo doesn't go too well for him, he takes a huge amount of punishment to put down.
** In the anime, he shrugs off a direct hit from '''Garp'''.
* NervesOfSteel: In the anime, he faces down Garp and Sengoku without fear.
* OneManArmy: Defeats the entire Block A in the Corrida Colosseum in an instant.
* RazorWind: His Galleon Lariat technique is a unique variant, in that it's his forearm that causes a massive slice rather than a blade.
* SignatureLaugh: "Wi-hahaha!"
* SlasherSmile: His default expression, particularly when he is about to enter combat.
* {{Troll}}: Burgess does this to Sabo in Chapter 792; specifically, he mocks Ace in front of him, trying to make him mad enough to get close as he prepares for a sneak attack to take his fruit. Unfortunately, Sabo is quick to react and Burgess gets Fire Fisted right in his face.
* VillainousValor: Drags Doc Q and Stronger away from the battle between Ace and Blackbeard to save them from being caught in the crossfire, and is fiercely loyal to Teach.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He is topless in the Corrida Colosseum tournament.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Lavender hair, to be specific.

[[folder:Shiliew "of the Rain"]]
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_924.png]]
-->"My future here is no future at all. I've been waiting to meet a man like you."

->Voiced by: Takayuki Sugou (JP), Matt Thurston (EN)

Shiliew was once the Head Jailer of Impel Down. He was stripped of his rank, was sentenced to execution, and was placed in Level 6 of Impel Down. Magellan, desperate for help, temporarily releases Shiliew to crush the riot. Instead, Shiliew attacks the workers and cuts off communications. Shiliew saved the Blackbeard Pirates from Magellan's poison and promptly joined the team, eventually being the commander of the Blackbeard Pirates' 2nd ship.

* AxCrazy: Very much so. One wonders how someone this psychopathic earned the position as Head Jailer of the most important prison in the world.
* {{BFS}}: His sword is a type used to kill cavalry, but he wields it like a normal sword.
** Of course, he's much, much taller and larger than normal humans, so for him, it probably ''is'' a normal sword.
* CapeWings: Possibly. He is seen sporting devil wings when confronting Magellan, but they are not present afterward.
* CigarChomper: Never seen without a cigar.
* EvilCounterpart: To Zoro. Note his swordsmanship, being put on death row prior to joining Blackbeard, and calling Blackbeard out after Magellan's crushing attack. The fact that he used to be a jailer nicely parallels Zoro's past as a pirate hunter, too.
* FaceHeelTurn: Used to work for the [[TheGovernment World Government]], but defects and joins Blackbeard.
* TheFatalist: Seems to be a reason for joining Blackbeard.
* GagNose: As seen in the picture above.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Smokes a large cigar almost all the time.
* LanternJawOfJustice: Well, once believed in Justice. See GagNose for his massive features.
* LargeAndInCharge: Not as tall as Magellan, but much bigger than normal people.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:He killed prisoners for fun, claiming them to be "just trash". Then, he gets arrested, and sent to Level Six]].
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name translates to "Death Dragon".
* PuttingOnTheReich: Like all who work at Impel Down. His uniform seems to look more like the SS, which fits his [[PsychoForHire personality]].
* PsychoForHire: It's implied that he took the job as Head Jailer of Impel Down to torture and kill prisoners.
* SixthRanger: Joined Blackbeard's crew in between Blackbeard and his original members along with the Level Six prisoners he freed.
* SmokingIsCool: When he is released from jail, the first thing he asks for is a lighter so he can smoke his cigar.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Up until Chapter 595 gave us his official name, many refered to him as "Shiryuu".
* TailorMadePrison: [[spoiler:Gets placed on Level Six, after losing to Magellan]].

[[folder:"Supersonic" Van Augur]]
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_242.png]]
->Voiced by: Masaya Takatsuka (JP), Barry Yandell (EN, Funi)

One of the original 5 Blackbeard Pirates and the ship sniper, Van Augur is a masterful sharpshooter who lives up to his role and epithet, sniping with a large ornate rifle. Augur is typically stoic and defers to to his Captain.
----
* ColdSniper: Calm, stern and deeply believes in fate. Also a very capable sniper.
* CoolGun: A large rifle as with detailed carvings on it, as long as he is tall (and Augur is very tall).
* CoolHat: Wears a large one resembling a typical pirate's hat that is one of his distinguishing features (and may have given away his identity as a Blackbeard Pirate in Jaya).
* DullSurprise: The typical expression of Van Augur, except for a tiny instance of SlasherSmile [[spoiler: while fightning Ace.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Van Auger is introduced sniping seagulls too far away to be seen by the naked eye, and letting those who survived live on as he believes this was the path fate chose for them.
* EvilCounterpart: Seems to be being set up as one for Usopp, as the sniper of their respective crews. Granted, their personalities could not be more different.
* TheFatalist: Chalks up the result of his sniping to fate in Jaya.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Van Auger can snipe down seagulls when they're not even in sight and can easily tell if the shot was fatal or not.
* TheStoic: The most quiet member of the original Blackbeard Pirates.
* SuperSpeed: Displays this when dodging Ace's attacks.
* VillainousValour: Genuinely praises and admires Ace's ability to continue fighting Blackbeard even with the latter's ability to nullify his Devil Fruit.

[[folder: "Death God" Doc Q]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_628.png]]
--> "The thing called fate... it's a measure of how much a person's existence is worth..."

->Voiced by: Naoya Uchida (JP), Kenny Green (EN, Funi)

One of the original 5 Blackbeard Pirates and the ship doctor, Doc Q is a DeadlyDoctor who is constantly sickly and weak, just like his horse, Stronger, and seems to be the oldest member of the crew. Like most of the crew, he is a fatalist, believing that fate is the measure of a person's worth.
----
* DeadlyDoctor: It's in his damn epithet. Which kind of doctor goes around giving out explosive apples and carries a scythe around anyway?
* EvilCounterpart: Seems to be set up as one for Chopper as the doctors of their respective crews, although their beliefs could not be any more different.
* EvilOldFolks: The oldest Blackbeard Pirate and no less evil than the rest.
* TheFatalist: Believes fate to be the measure of a man's existence, which he uses to justify his giving out apples, some explosive, some normal. When Luffy gets a good apple, he says fate considered him worthy of survival.
* {{Irony}}: Mostly played for laughs that despite being a doctor, he is the one constantly sick, and so far seems unable to heal himself.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Seems heavily ill, though this has been played for laughs thus far.
* NiceHat: Wears a feathery, bowler-esque one.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler:It should be noted that when the crew captured Jewelry Bonney (someone who worries friggin' [[PersonOfMassDestruction Akainu]]), Blackbeard declared her as too weak for the crew and offered she'd be his woman instead. Bonney, mind you, is one of the Eleven Supernovas with a bounty of '''140,000,000 belli'''. This means that Blackbeard considers Doc Q is ''more'' deadly than even one of the eleven rookies the WG fears]].
* SinisterScythe: Carries a large one around with him in a bag, showing that he is indeed capable of combat.
* SlasherSmile: Packs one when he reveals some of the apples he is giving out are explosive.
* TeamPet: His equally sick horse, Stronger.
* TemptingApple: The basis of his 'give out explosive apples' shtick.

[[folder: "Demon Sheriff" Laffitte]]
[[quoteright:324:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_266.png]]

-->"[[CatchPhrase We are called the Blackbeard Pirates.]] [[AffablyEvil Please remember that.]]"

->Voiced by: Taiki Matsuno (JP), Christopher Bevins (EN, Funi)

One of the original 5 Blackbeard Pirates, Laffitte is the navigator and one of the more enigmatic members. An effeminate man resembling a mime, he seems to possess powers of hypnosis and has wings that make him capable of flight just like a Skypeian. He is the man responsible for sneaking into Marine HQ to recommend Blackbeard as the next Shichibukai, and the one who hypnotized the guards to allow for their infiltration into Impel Down.
